P2P.ie Review: Red Hugh is a horse that went in plenty of notebooks after his debut performance at the beginning of the season which saw finish fourth in an ultra-competitive four-year-old maiden at Castletown-Geoghegan. Not only has the winner of the race gone on to win a Grade 2 over hurdles at Cheltenham, but the runner-up has since won his maiden by 12 lengths, as one of four subsequent maiden point winners to emerge from the race. Red Hugh was one of them, as having finished placed at Tyrella following a blip at Ballycrystal in more testing conditions, he gamely won a 14-runner maiden at Stradbally. Showing plenty of pace, he really opened up on the run to the last to quicken nicely clearly of some form horses in behind in a time that was nine seconds quicker than the average on the card, notable in itself on good ground. One of the dead-heating runners-up horses was only beaten a length on his previous run entering the race, whilst the fourth has since come out and won a 14-runner maiden in Dromahane to suggest this is a Good-ground horse worth adding to the shortlist.
