Rathgar Beau remains a possible for Sandown

RATHGAR BEAU remains a possible contender for the William Hill - Tingle Creek Trophy at Sandown on December 3 despite having the Hilly Way Chase at Cork eight days later as his main target.

Trainer Eamonn Sheehy has refused to rule the nine-year-old out of a clash with champion two-miler Moscow Flyer on Saturday week, after his pleasing reappearance when second to War Of Attrition.

“Rathgar Beau is in great form and goes to Cork on December 11 for the Hilly Way Chase and that is his Irish target, but the Tingle Creek is still a possibility,” said Sheehy.
