DESSIE HUGHES and Bryan Cooper have developed into a cracking combination and the duo can combine to provide us with a winning nap in the shape of Eyre Apparent in the BBQ @ Clonmel Races 8th Maiden Hurdle at the Tipperary track tonight.

PRINCETON PLAINS, who failed to win a maiden over flights or on the flat, broke his duck in style with a last-gasp success in the valuable ladbrokes.com Handicap Hurdle at Killarney yesterday.

HIDDEN CYCLONE continued his rise up the ranks with a gusty display to land the Grade 2 Michael Purcell Memorial Novice Hurdle at Thurles yesterday.
