Hedgehunter top Thyestes choice

THE presence of Alexander Banquet in this afternoon’s Thyestes ’Chase at Gowran Park has reduced the field to just ten, with most trainers deciding there was no point running horses from well out of the handicap.

In theory that should make finding the winner a lot easier, but it still looks a tricky enough race.

The vote falls on Hedgehunter, who stays on 10-2 as a result of his stable companion remaining in the contest.
