I Shot The Sheriff can lay down the law in Rated Hurdle in Wexford

I Shot The Sheriff will be expected to land the Micheal O Murchadha Memorial Rated Hurdle in Wexford for Tony Martin and Ruby Walsh today.

A winner in England for both Warren Greatrex and David Pipe, this lightly-raced eight-year-old chased Forever Gold home in a handicap hurdle at Navan on his Irish debut and has been found an ideal opportunity here.

I Shot The Sheriff, winner of a novice hurdle at Wetherby back in October 2012, was pulled up behind last Friday’s Gold Cup victor Coneygree at Cheltenham the following month.
