Murphy’s Cardinal gets Wetherby chance

NOEL CHANCE is hoping Murphy’s Cardinal can regain the winning thread in the skybet.com Rowland Meyrick Chase at Wetherby on St Stephen’s Day.

The eight-year-old suffered his first defeat in seven starts at Sandown last time when he was beaten into fourth by Colonel Frank in an intermediate chase.

Murphy’s Cardinal had two other really decent types in front of him, with Calling Brave and Lord Sam finishing second and third respectively.
