Lyreen out to be a Legend for Hughes

Dessie Hughes is keen to see how Lyreen Legend copes with a sounder surface in tomorrow’s Coolmore National Hunt Sires Ask & Getaway Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse.

The five-year-old has won twice from five starts over timber and has run three terrific races in defeat, finishing placed in races won by Monksland, Boston Bob and Unaccompanied.
