Gowran next Station for Power

Eamonn O'Connell is to replicate last season's campaign with Powerstation and plans to bring the useful staying hurdler out again on Thyestes Chase Day at Gowran Park next week.

The 11-yo produced some of his best performances last term winning the Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown before finishing third to Big Buck's in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle.

In between those starts he was second behind War Of Attrition in the Galmoy Hurdle, and that is where he heads now after being beaten only by Mourad in a return to the Christmas Hurdle on December 28.

Tipperary-based O'Connell said: "He ran up to form the other day and as long as he's OK, he'll probably run in the Galmoy at Gowran a week on Thursday.

"Then he'll have an entry in the World Hurdle and I'll give him an entry at Aintree as well, but he'll only run in one or the other."
