Salmon plans depend on weather

MICHAEL HOURIGAN indicated yesterday afternoon that it is far from certain Beef Or Salmon will make his seasonal debut in Sunday’s Munster National at Limerick.

The second favourite, behind Best Mate, for the Cheltenham Gold Cup has also been given an entry in Friday’s Grade Two National Lottery Agent Champion Chase over two and a half miles at Gowran Park.

“It all depends on the weather over the next few days and how the ground will be at the two tracks”, revealed Hourigan. “I won’t make up my mind until Thursday, but wherever he runs Timmy Murphy will ride.”
