Couleur can collect

Safest wager at Thurles this afternoon should be Noel Meade’s Couleur France in the thurles.ie Maiden Hurdle.

He has certainly been costly to follow, but arrives off a career-best effort last time and should now be ready to finally strike.

At Fairyhouse last month, Couleur France was beaten a length and three parts into second by Sheamus, a contest that has been working out well.
