Mile set for quick double

GREEN MILE has clearly got first run on the handicapper and is difficult to oppose in the ACC Bank Hurdle at Kilbeggan tonight.

Tony Martin's five-year-old went off 7-4 favourite to win a handicap at Killarney on Tuesday night and could hardly have been more impressive.

Ridden towards the back by Ruby Walsh, he gradually worked into the contest and it was a virtual procession from the second last, as he cruised home four lengths clear of Dun Drinan.
