Switch to hurdles can pay off for Mickelson

MICKELSON is the hopeful nap choice to get off the mark at the fifth attempt in the Cashel Maiden Hurdle at Clonmel this afternoon.

He is clearly no star, but represents Noel Meade, who currently has his charges in tip-top shape.

The five-year-old failed to win a bumper in four outings and Meade has clearly decided enough is enough and the time has come to try a new game.
