The Rathowen man's horses are in fine fettle at present.

Rathowen trainer Adrian Murray sent out Saliteh to continue a huge weekend for Amo Racing as the she won the Far Above At Compas Stallions Handicap at Naas on Sunday.

The owners’ colours were carried to success in two races on the opening day of the new flat season at the Curragh on Saturday, including in the featured Irish Lincolnshire with Raadobarg.

Murray went close to his own Curragh winner with Forceful Speed in the opening two-year-old maiden but his year older stable companion became the weekend’s stable star as she got up late on under champion jockey Colin Keane to beat the Paul Flynn-trained Little Queenie by a head in the five-furlong handicap.
