Irish trainer sends one horse on the 900-mile round trip to Carlisle on Sunday
21 hours ago
A strong renewal in prospect here with last year’s 1-2-3 back to do battle once again. Young Hurricane came with a well-timed ride to win this last year and needs respecting after winning his last two point to points. He could be vulnerable to a less exposed rival today though and NOW BEN is supported for the powerful trainer/jockey combination of Philip Rowley and Alex Edwards. This ten-year-old has been prolific in point to points and won the Champion Novices’ Hunters’ Chase over this course and distance last year, so will have no stamina concerns today.
