All Star can set record straight

CORK All Star, so unlucky at Fairyhouse last time, can set the record straight in the Grade 2 paddypower.com Future Champions Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown this afternoon.

Jessica Harrington's high-class five-year-old contested the Royal Bond Novice Hurdle and looked the likely winner approaching the final flight. He stumbled badly at the back of the obstacle, however, completely losing his action. Muirhead quickly took advantage and was a length and three parts clear of Cork All Star at the line.

That was a decent effort on the part of the selection, considering the ground was particularly heavy and that was very much against him. No matter what the weather does overnight, the surface is going to be far better and Cork All Star gets the nap in a cracking contest.
