Pomme looks the pick

RUBY WALSH can make a triumphant return to riding in this country by guiding Pomme Tiepy to success in the Grade 3 O’Connell Transport Stayers’ Novice Hurdle at Cork tomorrow.

This versatile sort went from strength to strength over fences last season and showed she may be just as talented over flights at Fairyhouse last time.

Running over two miles and two, which was on the short side, the five-year-old made all the running to slam Cork All Star by an easy five and a half lengths.
