Smooth as Silk

JOSEPH O’BRIEN, who has chances throughout tonight’s Dundalk card, completed a double with Los Alamos (JJ Slevin) and Silk And Sand (Derek O’connor) as National

Hunt action returned to Thurles yesterday.

Gordon Elliott’s Jaunty Thor, successful in Fairyhouse on Tuesday, followed-up under Davy Russell in the Littleton Handicap Chase.

The eight-year-old is proving a bargain for

Elliott and the Call It What You Like Syndicate, having been bought out of Oliver Greenall’s for just £5,000 – he has won four times and been placed second twice from seven outings for his current handler – he might now head to Ayr on Wednesday.
