Hourigan Sights Set On Down Royal

Michael Hourigan could run both Beef Or Salmon and Hi Cloy in the James Nicholson Wine Merchant Champion Chase at Down Royal on November 3 if the ground is suitable.

The admirable Beef Or Salmon has twice beaten subsequent Gold Cup winners in the Grade One event ? overcoming Kicking King in 2004 and accounting for War Of Attrition in 2006.

'If the ground is fast I might not run either of them, but all things being equal the intention is to run them both,' said the trainer.

The Patrickswell-based handler has the Betfair Chase at Haydock on November 24 as another option for his two smart chasers.
