GROUND BALL, one of the most frustrating horses in training, gets the nap to land the Quality Hotel Hurdle at Wexford tonight.

I AM very reluctant to have anything to do with any contest over fences at Punchestown this week, so stiff are the obstacles, but an exception has to be made with Le Roi Miguel, who is napped to land today’s Swordlestown Cup Novice Chase.

Trainer Ted Walsh will leave it until later in the week before making a decision on Papillon’s participation in the Martell Cognac Grand National.
