Dry spell delight for Fahey as Peregrine Run lands feature chase

The majority of trainers in Ireland may have been busy cursing the lack of recent rain but Peter Fahey is relishing the unseasonably dry period with Peregrine Run being afforded the opportunity to show what he is made of on his favoured ground.

Fahey’s stable star postponed his holidays by notching career win number ten under regular pilot Roger Loughran in the feature 2m7f Listed Chase, with the outcome scarcely looking in any doubt.

With his eight-year-old in a rich vein of form, Fahey revealed his attention would turn to Saturday’s Grade 2 second-season chase at Down Royal in an effort to capitalise before the weather takes a turn for the worse.
