Doctor Linton can notch third victory

MICHAEL O’Brien signalled that his horses are back on song with a double at Fairyhouse on Sunday and the trainer’s Doctor Linton gets the nap to take the Phil Sweeney Memorial ’Chase at Thurles today.

The seven-year-old is already a winner twice this season, at Limerick and Punchestown, and has his sights considerably lowered now, having contested a Grade One at Leopardstown at Christmas.

He appeared to have plenty in the locker when falling two from home as he tried to close on the principals in the contest won by Missed That from Wild Passion.
