Townend can pounce late on long-absent Farringdon

FARRINGDON is the nap choice to overcome an absence of 107 days in the F.B.D Hurdle at Ballinrobe tonight.

The seven-year-old is best when held up for a late burst and trainer Prunella Dobbs, who knows the time of day, has booked the ideal man for such tactics in Paul Townend.

The fact the selection hasn’t run for so long is not a major concern, when you take into consideration that he won first time up last season.
