China can collect

MOUSE Morris’ horses appear to be well forward and his China Rock gets the vote to land the Grade 2 Gowran Park Champion Chase at the Kilkenny track this afternoon.

He mixed it with the best novices around last season and seems to have more scope for improvement than any of his six rivals, in a contest which, admittedly, has an open appearance.

The selection ended his campaign at the Punchestown Festival in April with a creditable effort, three lengths runner-up behind Kempes.
