Captain Paulie back in command

CAPTAIN PAULIE, disappointing at Wexford previously, was back on track in the Munster Waste Management Handicap Hurdle at a packed Cork yesterday.

Strongly handled by Robert Power, he battled on doggedly from the final flight to hold Old Theatre Royal by a short head.

“I have no explanation for Wexford, but he is a horse who has had his problems”, said trainer, Colm Murphy.
