Warrior on course for clash with Sir Des Champs

A cracking renewal of the Grade One Racing Post Novice Chase at Leopardstown on St Stephen’s Day is in prospect.

Tony Martin’s Drinmore winner Bog Warrior and Willie Mullins’ Cheltenham Festival hero Sir Des Champs could clash.

Martin, who trains the exciting chaser for Gigginstown House Stud, said yesterday: “Bog Warrior worked at home this morning and I couldn’t be happier with him.”
