THE KINGS SWORD, trained by former Kilkenny hurler, Kieran Purcell, can land the nap in the 20-runner Christmas Vouchers Maiden Hurdle at Gowran Park this afternoon.

I THINK it will take an extraordinary display by Denman if he is to defy top weight in the Hennessy at Newbury today.

THERE’S little doubt the most promising horse on view at Limerick yesterday was Willie Mullins’ Quiscover Fontaine and he duly completed a hat-trick of wins in the Greenmount Racing Club Novice Hurdle.
