Augustin should prove tough to beat in bumper

Augustin sets a decent standard in the Ardfinnan Flat Race, the bumper on today’s Clonmel card.

While Willie and Patrick Mullins are busy with preparations for Cheltenham, this five-year-old’s trip to Clonmel will serve as a brief distraction.

But the French-bred son of Martaline showed enough promise on his debut in Navan last month to suggest that he should be capable of a bumper success.
