Winter warmer for Walsh as Belord does the business

BELORD, having only a second outing for John Joe Walsh, was much too good for the opposition in the Winter Wonderland Maiden Hurdle at Limerick yesterday.

Start Me Up, not for the first time, was disappointing. In front three out, he found little when headed in the straight by Worldly Wise.

Kevin Coleman, however, had now worked Belord into the contest and there was only going to be one result once he asked him to lead away from the final flight.
