Dice On The Way To Cork Repeat

Tumbling Dice will bid for a repeat of last year's victory in the O'Connell Logistics Hilly Way Chase at Cork tomorrow.

The eight-year-old was a 10-length winner of the Grade Two event last term before failing to sparkle on his subsequent three starts.

Trainer Tom Taaffe is anticipating a bold show in a race that is also set to feature previous Grade One winners Foreman, Hi Cloy and The Railway Man.

'He's very well. It's his first run of the season, but he has done plenty,' said Taaffe.

'We will be expecting him to give a good account of himself.

'I'd like to think (there would be a better race in him) but he's pretty exposed at this stage and he might be just a little bit short of Grade One (class).'

Foreman will be making his first start for Charlie Swan after leaving the care of Thierry Doumen while other contenders include Central House, Our Ben, Final Act, Lissbonney Project and Scarthy Lad.
