Benbulben set to recoup recent losses

MOUNT BENBULBEN can recoup recent losses in the Cashel Maiden Hurdle at Thurles this afternoon.

He was a particularly smart bumper horse when trained by Gillian Callaghan, scoring twice, and was then bought by Barry Connell and transferred to Gordon Elliott.

The six-year-old made his debut over jumps, and having his initial outing for Elliott at Galway last month, went off a well-backed 5-4 favourite.
