Tipperary All Starcan make amends

TIPPERARY ALL STAR, a big disappointment at Naas last time, gets the nap to redress the balance in the first division of the Swords Maiden Hurdle at Fairyhouse, which is the subject of a 7am inspection following heavy rain yesterday and the threat of overnight frost.

Michael Halford’s charge was making his debut over flights then and was heavily backed, ending up an odds-on chance.

But he could only manage a poor fourth, finishing over ten lengths adrift of the winner, Feathard Lady.
