Glenabo Bridge easily landed a 2m4f Down Royal handicap and made a bold bid to defy an 8lb rise over shorter at Ballinrobe. Frazel Express was racing over hurdles for the 21st time when finally getting off the mark at Tramore where he found this trip to his liking. He's up 8lb but still looks on a very fair mark. ARRYCAN's two victories have been over fences and he just failed to take advantage of a much lower hurdles mark at Ballinrobe last week. His rider was unable to claim his 5lb allowance there and compensation awaits. Kilkenny Star has yet to win and has an absence to overcome but any money for Viking Hoard should be noted.
