Dice ready to roll

Tom Taaffe hopes Tumbling Dice can return to the form of his impressive Hilly Way Chase success when he returns to two miles for the Byrne Group Plc Tied Cottage Chase on Sunday.

Although he is set to face strong opposition in the upcoming Punchestown heat, with Nickname and Newmill possible runners, Taaffe feels campaigning his charge over the minimum trip could be the key to getting the best out of him.
