Jimmy Ber can go one better

THE loss of the three scheduled chases has left this afternoon’s Thurles card looking more than a little threadbare and what’s left could hardly be described as inspiring.

Should the meeting pass an 8am inspection then Dessie Hughes’ Jimmy Ber can prove the bet of the day in the first division of the Ballynonty Maiden Hurdle.

A moderate enough performer in bumpers, he looked an improved horse when making his debut over jumps at Leopardstown at Christmas.
