Geraghty draws blank on comeback

Ridden by Jonathan Burke, the Potts-owned seven-year-old raced prominently throughout, jumping well, and stayed on strongly from the second last to beat the Geraghty-ridden favourite Hash Brown by eight lengths.

“He was deadly out there and has definitely improved over fences,” said de Bromhead. “He’s a big, raw horse and is only coming to himself. I’d like to keep him to two miles, at least for the moment, but there are very few opportunities for a horse like him at this time of year – Galway and the Kilbegnet in Roscommon are the options.”
