Along Set Fair For County

Fair Along is set to take his chance in tomorrow's Vincent O'Brien County Handicap Hurdle after emerging from the Irish Independent Arkle Trophy Chase in good order.

The Philip Hobbs-trained five-year-old stayed on to take second behind My Way De Solzen at Cheltenham on Tuesday and will revert to the smaller obstacles for his second outing of the week.

Hobbs said: 'He has come out of the race fine and will run on Friday as there isn't anything much for him between now and Aintree.

'He never really travelled and he lost the race at the start, but I don't know if we would have beaten the winner anyway.'
