Mile High City can get off the mark

TED WALSH’S former winning pointer, Mile High City, has a leading chance of enjoying a first success on the racecourse in the Martinstown Opportunity Handicap ’Chase at Down Royal this afternoon.

In this type of contest a capable rider can often prove vital and Walsh has found one in the relatively experienced Andrew McNamara.

On the face of it the selection’s latest outing, at Naas, was quite disappointing, considering he could only manage 10th of 15 finishers behind Darrens Lass.
