Fionnegas can do the business

TAKE a chance each-way on Fionnegas, even if he has been deserted by Ruby Walsh, landing the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham this afternoon.

In what can only be described as an intriguing puzzle, made all the more complicated by the fact the selection is one of four Willie Mullins-trained runners, Fionnegas should at least give us a good run.

He has a progressive profile and may now come into his own, running over three miles for the first time.
