Meade out to rule Supreme

Muirhead, ante-post favourite with a number of firms for the Anglo Irish Bank Supreme Novices’ Hurdle, will arrive at Prestbury Park without the benefit of a prep run.

Noel Meade’s five-year-old is unbeaten in a bumper and two runs over timber, the most recent of which yielded a defeat of Cork All Star in the Grade One Royal Bond Novice Hurdle in December.
