Tank set for chasing debut

The Tullow Tank will have his first race for Dessie Hughes in a beginners’ chase at the end of this month.

Connections are hoping the six-year-old, who won two Grade One novice hurdles last year for Philip Fenton, will need just the one outing before heading to Fairyhouse for the Drinmore Novice Chase on November 30.

As well as The Tullow Tank, owner Barry Connell has several other nice prospects to look forward to such as the Ted Walsh-trained Foxrock, but Mount Benbulben will not make it to the track this season.
