Xenophon set to dazzle on jumps debut

ONE of the most interesting horses trained in this country at the moment is Tony Martin’s Xenophon.

On Sunday, at Navan, he is set to make his debut over fences in the Kevin McManus Bookmakers’ EBF Novice ’Chase.

What makes Xenophon so interesting is that this will only be the seventh race of his life, despite the fact he will be an eight-year-old in about three weeks time.
