McCoy to ride
Liss A Paoraigh

Tony McCoy will partner Liss A Paoraigh in the Hatton`s Grace hurdle at the December Festival of Racing at Fairyhouse on Sunday.

John Kiely`s six-year-old beat Limestone Lad in a Grade Two event at Navan on his last outing and is likely to face a rematch with that rival in the two-and-a-half mile contest at the weekend.

James Bowe`s admirable campaigner has boosted that form in no uncertain terms since with two victories, the latest of them over Ned Kelly, who is also an intended runner in the Hatton`s Grace.

'The mare is in great form,' said Kiely today. 'Tony will make the trip especially for the race.

'It will be a very competitive contest but she has done very well since she beat Limestone Lad at Navan earlier this month and we are hopeful that she will give a good account of herself.'
