Flicka of hope for McCain

Son Of Flicka gave Donald McCain and Jason Maguire their second winner of the week with a fine performance in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham.

The pair struck with Cinders And Ashes in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle on Tuesday and this 16-1 chance had previous Festival form having finished a narrow second in last year’s Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Hurdle.
