Bee cansting rivals

CHRISTY ROCHE’S horses are gradually hitting form and his Like A Bee is fancied to land the nap in the Nore Valley Hurdle at Clonmel this afternoon.

The six-year-old has already shown his liking for this track. He won his bumper here and was second over flights to Collier County at Clonmel last time.

That latest effort was a decent enough performance, in the context of this opposition. Like A Bee held every chance in the closing stages but was outstayed by a useful rival, going down by two lengths.
