Etoile the Greatwood star

14/11/2004 - 14:56:20
Irish raider Accordion Etoile put himself in line for top honours with a most impressive display in the Greatwood Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham today.

John Cullen was always travelling with supreme ease on the Paul Nolan-trained five-year-old and there was nothing going better with two to jump.

He quickened nicely clear when given the office after the last for a three-length success over Westender.

Perouse was a head away in third, but top-weight Rooster Booster never got in serious blow.
