Facile Andoversford Maiden winner opens his account at Cork

Eurobot, easy winner of last season's GX Land Rovers Open Maiden at Andoversford, opened his account under Rules at Cork on Sunday in a Maiden Hurdle for trainer Nole Meade and jockey Sean Flanagan. 

Showing good stamina in soft ground over the extended 3m, Eurobot was always handy, took it up 2 out and kept on well to beat the one-paced Getaday and Invincible Cave. 

Eurobot has earned a big reputation in a short racing career. Winner of his only two starts, he was snapped up by Gigginstown House Stud at the Aintree Sales just weeks after his bloodless win at Andoversford for a six figure sum. He continues a recent trend for top flight horses to win Maidens at Andoversford following Poetic Rhthym in 2016, subsequent winner of the Grade I Challow Hurdle at Newbury in 2017.
