Rathnure Rookie showed up well on his debut run in the National Hunt Flat Race at Kilbeggan on 12th October. He jumped off and set a nice pace throughout, travelling nicely only giving best late on to a highly regarded rival. He ran a very solid race and kept going all the way to the line seeing off everything else in behind him. He looks sure to improve plenty from this initial experience and a similar contest looks well within reach before he embarks on a novice hurdling campaign.
