Gift and Cowboy in Irish showdown

Jonjo O’Neill’s stable stars Iris’s Gift and Rhinestone Cowboy will clash in a mouth-watering renewal of the Ballymore Properties Champion Stayers Hurdle at Punchestown tomorrow.

Iris’s Gift, winner of the Stayers’ Hurdle at Cheltenham and Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree, takes on his older rival, who claimed the Aintree Hurdle last time.
