Three for Barry

Meath jockey Barry Geraghty completed a treble at Ascot yesterday to maintain his good strike-rate ahead of the big Christmas Festival action. The Drumree man partnered the highly-rated Siomnsig to an almost facile victory over the major obstacles at Ascot on trhe grey's first outing since last April. Geraghty also deputised for the suspended Leighton Aspell to win with Puffin Billy and then completed the three-timer when Captain Cutter won the bumper. Geraghty will be on duty again today at Ascot.
