Venalmar set for Thurles return

Mouse Morris is ready to let Venalmar make his long-awaited return in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase at Thurles on Thursday.

The seven-year-old was beaten just a neck by Fiveforthree in the Ballymore Properties Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March 2008, but has been off the track since he was virtually pulled up at Punchestown a month later.
