George charts route to Listowel

Trainer Tom George is looking forward to a trip to Listowel next Wednesday as he targets the talented Chartreux at the Guinness Kerry National.

The eight-year-old won a bumper and a hurdle race when trained by David Pipe for owner Roger Brookhouse and struck twice over fences last season after switching to Gloucestershire-based George.

He has not been seen in competitive action since finishing second at Perth in late April, but George has had this valuable pot in mind for some time.
