Tennis Cap can make a successful return to hurdling when he contests the Coral.ie Hurdle at today’s matinee meeting in Cork, which gets underway at 3:05pm.

All focus on an otherwise modest programme at Punchestown will be on Annie Power, who will be having her first start of the season when she lines up for the opening mares’ hurdle, over two and a half miles.

John Joe Walsh is enjoying a tremendous run, and that continued yesterday afternoon at Thurles, where the Doneraile trainer secured a 35-1 double, which brought his tally for the season to 17.

Berry Des Aulmes can land the nap in the two-mile maiden hurdle on this afternoon card at Thurles, which consists of six hurdles and a bumper.
