Follow Mount Colah

The progressive Mount Colah gets the nap in a competitive Topaz Novice Hurdle at Galway this evening.

He won an ordinary maiden hurdle at Down Royal last month and then made the step up in class in good style at Sligo. The selection led for most of the trip and found plenty in the closing stages to beat subsequent winner Audrelles Lad by a length and three parts.

It is quite possible that by the time the contest is run the ground will have turned soft again, but the beauty of being with Mount Colah is that all surfaces appear to come the same to him.
