RACING:RUBY WALSH'S return from injury earlier this year was aided by the Ireland rugby international Ronan O'Gara and the favour can be returned at Roscommon this evening where the O'Gara-owned Your Busy can win his first race over fences with Walsh on board, writes Brian O'Connor.
O’Gara enjoyed a couple of victories over hurdles with Your Busy last summer and tonight’s Beginners Chase looks a good opportunity for the horse to make his fourth start over fences a winning one.
The James Nash-trained eight-year-old was placed in all three of his previous chase runs, including when finishing runner-up to Sizing Australia at Thurles. Fast ground conditions are forecast which will be ideal and that previous experience could be crucial against Gudnis Gracious Me and Baron De’l.
Long Live The King represents Ballydoyle in the ten furlong maiden but better value could be available with Sam Bass who wasn’t beaten far behind Zanughan at Navan.
Top amateur Robbie McNamara gets the leg up on Hi Big Man in the bumper and his debut second to Reizovic at Punchestown in February looks a more than adequate piece of form to win in this company.
