Nolan sets October date for Accordion Etoile

Accordion Etoile is set to make his chasing bow after running in the John James McManus Memorial Hurdle at Tipperary on October 2.

Paul Nolan’s six-year-old finished fourth in last season’s Champion Hurdle and also secured a highly impressive victory in the Greatwood Handicap Hurdle, finishing three lengths clear of Westender.
