Horse racing: Pearl to bid for third Hennessy triumph

Florida Pearl is set to return to action in the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup at Leopardstown on Sunday week.

The Willie Mullins-trained nine-year-old finished a 10-length second to Francois Doumen's First Gold in the Pertemps King George VI Chase at Kempton Park on Boxing Day on his last racecourse appearance and has been rested since.
