Tullow Tank to have tilt at Ryanair Gold Cup

The Tullow Tank is being prepared for next month’s Ryanair Gold Cup at Fairyhouse following a wasted journey to the Cheltenham Festival.

The dual Grade One-winning hurdler has endured a largely disappointing debut season over fences for Sandra Hughes, but after an improved effort when fourth at Leopardstown in February, he crossed the water for the JLT Novices’ Chase.

However, a last-minute setback scuppered his participation and owner Barry Connell is hoping for compensation over the Easter period.
