Description

Swindon Village was a big-eyecatcher on his debut as they grey son of Kingston Hill came home very strongly to take the second position. A steadily run contest over the shorter 2m4f trip may not have plated to his strengths, as having been patiently ridden at the rear of the field, the eventual winner was able to get first run on him at the penultimate fence. However, once striking top gear, he finished out his race very strongly, as having jumped the final fence in fourth, he swiftly made up two places on the run-in to get within two lengths of the winner at the line. Out of a half-sister to the dual Kerry National winner Ponmeoath, great encouragement has to be taken from how well he saw out the race.
