A HANDFUL of significant races and performances do not fit easily into the other sections in this extended Time Will Tell so will be rounded up here.

Chief among them is arguably the Irish Independent Hurdle win of Espoir D’Allen at Limerick on the Friday. There were only five runners – one of whom, Farclas, departed at the third – but this was a well-run contest which resulted in a time much faster than the other two-mile hurdle as well as the concluding bumper.
