Salmon likely to appear on Limerick menu

BEEF OR SALMON could make his eagerly awaited reappearance in the Anglo Irish Bank Munster Grand National at Limerick on Sunday.

Michael Hourigan’s stable star had a fruitful but interrupted second season as a chaser with three wins and a close fourth behind Best Mate in the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup.

He has been visiting an equine physiotherapist to ensure that the back problems he suffered last term do not recur.
