Maryiver lit up by cheek-pieces and a return to Tramore

A WINNER at the corresponding meet last year, Maryiver was lit up by a return to Tramore yesterday and the addition of cheek-pieces as she made all under Philip Enright in the www.tramore-racecourse.com Beginners Steeplechase to supply her Mallow handler Eoghan O’Grady with a welcome winner (his first on the track since May).

The well-bred daughter of Runyon made all (a tactic that worked well through the session) and she jumped brilliantly on the way to a most-deserved length success over Bobs Display.

O’Grady said: “She likes it around here – she won a maiden hurdle here on this day last year. She’ll go for a novice handicap next.”
