Hourigan delays Salmon decision

Michael Hourigan will make a decision on Beef Or Salmon’s participation at Aintree on Monday.

Hourigan’s Cheltenham Gold Cup disappointment heads 17 entries – eight of which competed in the blue riband at Presbury Park last month – for the Grade Two Betfair Bowl on the first day of the three-day meeting on Thursday.

The County Limerick also has Hi Cloy entered in the same race, however, and will make a decision tomorrow.

He told the Racing Post: “Beef Or Salmon worked well yesterday morning so it’s possible he will travel.

“We’ll decide on Monday if either Beef Or Salmon or Hi Cloy lines up.”
