Witness primed for Thyestes bid

Colin McBratney feels Sole Witness has plenty in his favour when he goes for the Goffs Thyestes Handicap Chase at Gowran Park today.

The County Down trainer has had this race in mind for the nine-year-old since he landed a two-and-a-half-mile handicap chase at Navan in mid-December.

“He won nicely in Navan. The plan was to go here after then and we’re very happy with him,” said McBratney.
