Plump for Pomme Tiepy in Thyestes

EDWARD O’Grady must have despaired when the runners for today’s Connolly’s Red Mills Thyestes Handicap Chase were revealed yesterday morning.

This is a meeting which has been postponed on two occasions and O’Grady’s Rocco's Hall was in the field both times.

But now, horror of horrors, the nine-year-old has been relegated to second reserve and his chances of getting a run have to be remote.
