BEEF OR SALMON is still far from certain to contest the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup at Leopardstown next Sunday.

Beef Or Salmon a far from certain Hennessy runner

Speaking at Thurles yesterday his trainer, Michael Hourigan, said: “I have read that he is 75% certain to run at Leopardstown, but I have never made any such comment.

“I am going to delay making a decision until much later in the week.

“I have been down this road before and will not rush the horse.”

Beef Or Salmon has been on the easy-list, mucus having been found in his throat, since finishing a disappointing third to Best Mate in the Ericsson at Leopardstown at Christmas.

“He worked well on the all-weather on Saturday and I was pleased with him”, said Hourigan.

“He will work on grass later this week, probably on Wednesday, and we will know more after that.”
