Two Meade Runners Likely in Royal Bond Donnas Palm is set to join stablemate Fisher Bridge in the Grade One Bar One Racing Royal Bond Novices' Hurdle at Fairyhouse on Sunday. Trainer Noel Meade is inclined to run both, with the former unbeaten in two starts and Fisher Bridge tasting defeat for the first time over hurdles at Navan last time. "At this moment it's likely both will run," the trainer confirmed. "Fisher Bridge was second the last time and perhaps Paul (Carberry) just got there a bit soon and he was run out of it. He's more of a speed horse and I think he would be better on better ground but we can't do anything about that. "The other lad has only had two runs in his life, winning a bumper and a maiden hurdle. It's a big ask going up in class on Sunday but he has been very impressive so far and jumps very well. He will probably take his chance."
