Beef Or Salmon returns at Curragh

BEEF OR SALMON, a faller at the third in the Cheltenham Gold Cup won by Best Mate, will be a somewhat surprise runner at the Curragh on Sunday.

At Clonmel yesterday his trainer, Michael Hourigan, confirmed that his stable star will contest the two mile Peter Byrne Kildare race, the last event of the afternoon.

“He is fit and well and we are using this as a prep for the Power Gold Cup at Fairyhouse”, said Hourigan.
