Davy From Milan provides punters with plenty of cheer

Punters experienced marginally the better of the exchanges at yesterday’s Dungarvan Harriers point-to-point fixture, which took place at Affane as opposed to the normal Kilossera venue, and the well-supported 6/4 favourite Davy From Milan provided them with plenty of cause for cheer by triumphing in the eight-runner open lightweight.

On what was his initial foray into open company, the recent Templenacarriga victor Davy From Milan wasn’t altogether foot-perfect at his fences. The victorious seven-year-old however still easily moved through to overtake Pocket Reader after the second last of the 16 obstacles. Whilst blundering at the final fence, Davy From Milan readily asserted on the flat to dismiss Pocket Reader by five lengths with a 10-length break to former Galway Plate hero Sir Frederick in third spot.

Davy From Milan’s handler Eoin Doyle, who trains the winning son of Milan for David Phelan from Carrick-On-Suir, said: “Maybe this undulating track didn’t suit him and we will give him another run in an open before probably going for a hunters chase.”
