Sweeney can call the tune

KEEPING Davy Russell and Gigginstown House Stud on one’s side is a policy which has produced plenty of winners through the current campaign and it seems a wise course of action to row in with them again at Naas this afternoon via Sweeney Tunes in the Market Reopening Next Sunday Hurdle.

The progressive five-year-old is trained by Shane Donohoe and looks the right call, in what is a tricky little six-runner affair.

He could not win a bumper in three attempts and appeared to be a horse whose future wasn’t overly bright.
