The Listed four-runner Horse And Jockey Hotel Hurdle at Thurles yesterday developed into a real battle of tactics and it was Davy Russell on Willie Mullins’ Midnight Game who got it spot-on.

IF we keep in-form Willie Mullins on our side this weekend then there is surely a fair chance of showing a profit!

THE 2007 Champion Hurdle hero, Sublimity, turned back the clock at Cork yesterday with a game success in the McCarthy Insurance Group Hurdle.

Sublimity made the most of a significant drop in class as he got back to winning ways with a workmanlike victory in the McCarthy Insurance Group Hurdle at Cork.
