Shhehy hoping to bounce back with Justified

JUSTIFIED will attempt to get his career back on track when tackling two and a half miles for the first time in the Grade One Powers Gold Cup at Fairyhouse on Sunday.

The Easter showpiece has attracted 15 entries at the five-day stage with Dusty Sheehy’s charge set to have his first outing since finishing third to Missed That and Arteea in the Irish Arkle in January.

The seven-year-old was ruled out of the Cheltenham Festival with a dirty scope but had proved his mettle earlier in the season with two impressive wins over fences.
