McGuinnes shoping for some Murphy magic

ADRIAN MCGUINNESS is hoping Timmy Murphy can work the oracle on Victram in a fiercely-competitive renewal of the Pierse Hurdle at Leopardstown tomorrow.

The Dublin-based trainer snapped up the in-demand rider when Andrew Lynch, who steered Victram into third place at Sandown last month, broke his arm last weekend.

“He needs to be dropped out a wee bit but we’ve got the best man on board,” said McGuinness.
