Beef Or Salmon right back in Gold Cup picture

BEEF OR SALMON, who has had a major question mark against him since disappointing behind Best Mate in the Ericsson Chase at Leopardstown, is right back in the Cheltenham Gold Cup picture.

He has been suffering on-going muscle problems, caused by a crashing fall at the third in last year’s Gold Cup but delighted trainer, Michael Hourigan, in a gallop after racing at Thurles yesterday.

Beef Or Salmon, ridden by Joe Casey, worked over about two miles on the flat with an un-named stable companion.
