Beef Or Salmon the percentage call in Durkan

FOLLOWING much agonising all week, Michael Hourigan has finally come down in favour of Beef Or Salmon taking his chance in the John Durkan Memorial Chase at Punchestown tomorrow.

Cashmans were yesterday offering Beef Or Salmon and Kicking King at 11-8, while Boylesports had marginal preference for Beef Or Salmon (11-8), with 6-4 on offer about his rival.

Preference goes to Beef Or Salmon, despite obvious worries regarding his fitness and the fact there are those who will make a case that two and a half miles is on the short side for him.
