Chief set to take charge

ARE Ya Right Chief gets the nap to make a winning debut over jumps in the Santa’s Little Helper Maiden Hurdle at Gowran Park this afternoon.

His three outings in bumpers have clearly indicated he is a horse who is short of speed, but blessed with an abundance of stamina.

Indeed, that was the quality which saw Are Ya Right Chief get off the mark at Fairyhouse on his latest appearance, as he battled on dourly in the closing stages to beat Mooney’s Cottage by half a length.
