Tagaki can bounce back in Thyestes

THE IAWS Thyestes Handicap Chase at Gowran Park today should, at least in theory, be relatively easy to solve considering only four of the 14 possibilites are running off their proper marks.

And indeed one of them, The Bunny Boiler, is doubtful. Noel Meade wasn’t one hundred per cent happy with the nine-year-old yesterday, but will wait until this morning before making a final decision.

Foxchapel King is a worthy top weight and his presence ensures a number of these have to compete from a long way out of the handicap.
