MOUSE Morris’ Recital Public is the one to beat in the Urlingford Maiden Hurdle at Thurles this afternoon.

THERE were no less than 12 races and 168 runners at Saturday’s rescheduled Kildare Hunt point-to-point meeting at Punchestown racecourse and Jamie Codd had an afternoon to savour with a whopping five winners.

Paris Pike’s run in Saturday’s Aon Chase at Newbury will determine his plans for the rest of the season, according to trainer Ferdy Murphy.
