Tocororo makes the most of her allowances at Galway

Ridden by Jack Kennedy, Tocororo, keen early, jumped past Tiger Roll at the fourth and dominated the race from that point. Bryan Cooper, on Tiger Roll (his comeback ride, following his fall at the Festival here), closed the gap running into the dip. But the winner was never seriously threatened and stayed on up the hill to triumph by sixteen lengths.

“She was a little bit keen early on and a small bit novicy at times, but she was only having her third run over fences, “explained Kennedy, who partnered the winner as her burden of 9-12 is below Gigginstown’s retained rider Bryan Cooper’s riding weight.
