Seventh Sign looks a classy recruit

The Adrian Maguire-trained Seventh Sign served notice that he’s an extremely classy recruit to this season’s point-to-point ranks by narrowly coming out on top in a pulsating finale to the open lightweight at yesterday’s well-attended Boulta fixture that was run under the auspices of the West Waterford Foxhounds-

On an afternoon that witnessed some seven races, recent Kilworth scorer Seventh Sign (11/8) was always positioned at the head of affairs in this vintage 13-runner contest and the victorious five-year-old had Valentinos Choice for company until the latter weakened as the runners set out on the final circuit.

Runner-up Wayupinthesky made smooth progress on the inner to go second on the approach to the penultimate of the 12 obstacles.
