LOCAL handler Pat Doyle has combined with owner Walter Connors to commence the careers of some talented sorts and the pair appear to have unearthed another exciting youngster in newcomer Grand Jury who claimed a competitive edition of the four-year-old maiden at last Sunday’s Golden Vale Foxhounds meeting at Turtulla, near Thurles in Co Tipperary.

Assuming sole command of the 14-runner contest setting out on the final circuit under Pa King, the towering son of Tiger Groom produced a number of excellent leaps throughout and saw off the brief challenge of runner-up Minella Cocooner after the third-last obstacle, ultimately posting a five-length victory.
