Walsh Booked For See More Business

Former champion jockey Ruby Walsh has been booked to take the mount on 1999 Tote Cheltenham Gold Cup winner See More Business in the James Nicholson Champion Chase at Down Royal next week.

The Grade One contest is the main feature of the Northern Ireland Festival of Racing which takes place over November 8 and 9.

The 12-year-old`s trainer Paul Nicholls said: 'This will be the first time that Ruby has ridden See More Business, but I am very confident and the horse is in great form.'

'I am also hopeful that Ruby will be available to ride Kadarann in the Killultagh Properties Chase which is a Grade Three race for second season novices on the same card.'

See More Business, who finished third in last season`s Cheltenham Gold Cup, has also been entered in the Peterhouse Group Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby on Saturday, but is an intended runner at Down Royal.

Meanwhile, Willie Mullins said that his star chaser Florida Pearl was on target to run in the Nicholson Chase, while Davenport Milenium, one of last season`s top novices, was a possible for the Anglo Irish Hurdle on the first day of the meeting.
