Barrow Island ready to score for Halford

MICHAEL HALFORD’S Barrow Island gets the nap in the Dundalk Stadium On Facebook Maiden at the first meeting of the new season at the Co Louth track tonight.

The indications are that Halford’s charges may be well forward, considering his Defining Year scored at the opening meeting of the campaign at the Curragh on Sunday.

In any case the son of Chevalier ran some solid races last season, particularly his second to Triumph Hurdle runner-up Unaccompanied at the Galway festival.
