Hank West came through his debut at Loughrea with flying colours, completing dominating in a quick time. Never too far from the pace, he is certainly not short of gears, as he demonstrated by the ease at which he was able to sprint clear of his rivals racing away from the penultimate fence, swiftly putting the race to bed to win as he pleased by eight lengths in a time 14 seconds quicker than the average time on the card. It was notable that the two horses that filled the placings in behind him both had run a combined six times between them, bringing a lot more experience into the race, yet they were completely outclassed by this eye-catching newcomer. The future certainly looks to be bright for him.
