Our Ben difficult to oppose

RUBY WALSH, miles clear in the jockeys' championship with 91 successes for the season, can continue his relentless drive towards the magical century mark by landing a treble at Thurles this afternoon.

He partners Our Ben in the featured Listed Phil Sweeney Memorial Chase and the eight-year-old is difficult to oppose.

It has largely been a case of unfulfilled promise for Willie Mullins' gelding, but there is no denying his prospects against this opposition.
