Those looking for lucky omens at Killarney this evening might consider backing Turban in the novice chase at 6.15.

The short-priced favourite is Ruby Walsh's sole ride on his 34th birthday.

Walsh shares a birthday today with flat jockey Johnny Murtagh, who turns 43.

In other Irish jockey news, Tony McCoy could be back in action on Friday as he has been booked to ride De Grae Clouding in an Aintree bumper for Rebecca Curtis.

The Co Antrim man has been out of the saddle since being unseated from Quantitativeeasing at Cheltenham on April 18.

He sees a specialist today regarding his broken ribs and then needs passed fit by the BHA's Dr Michael Turner.
