Start with In a Nutshell

IN A Nutshell, who has hit the bar on a couple of occasions of late, has been found a very suitable opportunity in the opening Mayo News Maiden Hurdle at Ballinrobe tonight and gets the nap.

He failed to win in four attempts on the flat for Kevin Prendergast, but has progressed nicely over jumps for Charles Byrnes and certainly seems capable of landing a contest such as this.

The selection began by taking fifth behind Shady Pines at Sligo and was then beaten a length and three parts into second by Hired Hand at Roscommon.
