Morning can reign supreme for in-form duo

MORNING SUPREME can continue the terrific currently run being enjoyed by Willie Mullins and Paul Townend by landing the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Beginners Chase at Cork this afternoon.

The six-year-old was a really good sort over hurdles, finishing last season with a highly creditable eight lengths second to For Bill in a Grade 3 at the Fairyhouse Easter meeting.

She reappeared over fences at Thurles in November and was probably a very unlucky loser. Morning Supreme tried to make all of the running and seemed to have plenty left when falling at the third last, leaving eventual winner, The Hurl, clear.
