Nolan delighted with Shinrock

Paul Nolan is weighing up the options for Shinrock Paddy in what could be a vintage season for novice hurdlers following his debut victory over timber at Punchestown earlier this week.

The five-year-old was hugely impressive in his first couple of starts in National Hunt Flat events and finished a creditable eighth behind the brilliant Dunguib in the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival.
