SOLWHIT STRIKES NAAS GOLD

Quote:
Solwhit showed his rivals a clean pair of heels as he ran out an impressive winner of the Grade Three Limestone Lad Hurdle at Naas on a big day for Davy Russell.
The nine-year-old, a six-time Grade One winner who recently returned to action after being sidelined for nearly two years, was sent off the 4-5 favourite and cruised up to brave front-runner Whatuthink coming to the penultimate flight.
Russell, on his way to four winners, only had to give the signal for his mount to hit the front and although market rival So Young tried to make a battle of it, his effort ended with a poor jump at the last, and Solwhit cleared away to score by four lengths.
