COLM MURPHY got a little boost, on the lead-in to Big Zeb’s challenge for next week’s Champion Chase at Cheltenham, when Dangan Daylight landed the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Maiden Hurdle at Clonmel yesterday.

THOSE who fancy Boston Bob at Cheltenham will be encouraged by the performance of Lyreen Legend in winning yesterday’s Grade 2 boylesports.com Michael Purcell Memorial Novice Hurdle at Thurles.

NOTHING quite beats winning at home and Richard Hennessy did precisely that when recording his initial career two-timer at yesterday’s Killeagh Harriers point-to-point meeting for the fixture was staged on his father Joe’s farm at Knockane outside Killeagh.
