Cork primed for starring role

Cork All Star is all set for the Bar-One Racing Royal Bond Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse on Sunday after coming through his latest piece of work with flying colours.

The five-year-old won his first four National Hunt Flat races last season culminating in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham before being beaten at Punchestown and he made a successful hurdling debut at Fairyhouse last month.
