FORGET The Past, third behind War Of Attrition and Hedgehunter in the Cheltenham Gold Cup last year, squeezed home a head in front Of Light On The Broom in the Thurles Chase at the Tipperary track yesterday.

A decision on Forget The Past’s participation in the Powers Whiskey Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse will not be made until Friday morning.

Paul Carberry displayed all his strength at Punchestown today when driving Wild Passion home for a heart-stopping victory in the Evening Herald Champion Novice Hurdle.
