Murphy plays waiting game

JOHN Joseph Murphy will wait as long as possible before deciding on which engagement Queen Mother Champion Chase winner Newmill will take up at the weekend.

The nine-year-old is entered in both the Normans Grove Chase at Fairyhouse on Sunday and also the Bank Of Ireland Hurdle at Naas a day earlier.

Murphy has no particular preference for either race though, and he will make a decision based on which venue has the better ground.
