Racing: Powers Gold Cup winner Justified steps back down in trip to tackle five rivals in the Grade One Swordlestown Gold Cup at the Punchestown festival tomorrow.

Eamonn Sheehy's seven-year-old stormed to an impressive three-length victory at Fairyhouse 10 days ago and will attempt a quick follow-up under Tony McCoy.

Powers Gold Cup runner-up In Compliance, who had been unbeaten over fences prior to the Grade One feature, reopposes in the hands of Barry Geraghty.

Connections of Accordion Etoile will be hoping for a return to form in the Swordlestown after the seven-year-old fell in the Arkle at Cheltenham, before disappointing in the Maghull Novices' Chase at Aintree.
