Beef Or Salmon up to the task in Munster National

BEEF OR SALMON can take the first step towards possible Cheltenham Gold Cup glory by defying top weight in the Anglo Irish Bank Munster National at Limerick tomorrow.

Michael Hourigan must be particularly happy with the current well-being of his stable star, because this is a big ask on the eight-year-old’s seasonal debut.

The selection has to concede lumps of weight to a couple of very useful rivals, but if stripping in the same form as at Punchestown in April can do just that.
