Beef Or Salmon wins Champion Chase at Down Royal

Beef Or Salmon proved he is still one of the best in the business when lowering the colours of War Of Attrition in a thrilling renewal of the James Nicholson Wine Merchant Champion Chase at Down Royal today.

Consistently average at the Cheltenham Festival but quite exemplary in his own country, Michael Hourigan's charge, sent off the 11-4 second favourite, won the three-mile Grade One with a neck to spare from the Cheltenham Gold Cup hero.
