Simiel poised to go one better in bumper

Henry de Bromhead invariably does well at Tramore, and can take the bumper with the promising Simiel.

The six-year-old made his debut at Limerick just three weeks ago, and found only the Willie Mullins-trained Escape Footwear too good.

The gelding tried to make all and, after building a sizeable advantage, was eventually reeled in by the winner. One of the most pleasing aspects of the performance was the manner in which he stayed on well to hold on to second place.
