Bay set to make all

Orgilgo Bay should prove hard to catch in the four-runner Follow On Twitter & Facebook Rated Hurdle in Punchestown today.

John McConnell’s four-year-old, successful on his hurdling debut at this meeting last year, has been a model of consistency this summer and comes into today’s race on the back of a convincing all-the-way win, under top-weight, in the Lartigue 4-Y-0 Handicap Hurdle in Listowel last month.

No match for Sunday’s Irish Cesarewitch winner El Salvador on the flat at Bellewstown back in July, he had one of today’s rivals Shamar back in third when beaten by Lucky Bridle in a similar amateur event on the same track in August.
