Tammys firmly on course for Foxhunters

Tammys Hill remains firmly on course for the Foxhunters Tammys Hill remains firmly on course for the Foxhunters at Cheltenham, having confirmed his superiority over last year’s winner Salsify in the Dark Horse Café & Wine Bar Hunters Chase in Down Royal yesterday.

Lima Lennon’s charge emerged victorious when the pair met at Wexford three weeks ago and, sent to the front at the second last by James Smyth, stayed on to beat Salsify by three-and-a-half lengths.

Tammys Hill will now head to Leopardstown in February before taking his chance in the Foxhunters, for which Stan James make him 10/1 (from 12).
