Bank on Lad in big clash

Punters are in for a rare mid-summer treat at Killarney tonight with Beachdale Lad and Rebel Fitz set to take each other on in the Christy McSweeney Memorial Novice Chase.

Preference is for Jessica Harrington's Beachdale Lad, who has created a big impression in his two outings over fences.

At Roscommon in June, he produced a fine display of jumping and front running to slam the useful The Real Article by 14 lengths.
