Gilgamboa enhances reputation with a terrific display

Exciting prospect Gilgamboa enhanced his reputation with a terrific display in the featured Grade 2 Shannon Airport Novice Chase yesterday at Limerick.

The Enda Bolger-trained six-year-old, a well-backed 7-4 favourite, was settled near the back of the seven-strong field as Pumbaa took his customary position at the head of affairs.

The winner jumped beautifully under Mark Walsh and was still travelling well, in fourth place, as they turned for home.
