  • Super sunday at Tipp

    Dual French Champion Hurdle winner Thousand Stars features among 11 entries for the Friends Of Tipperary Hurdle on Sunday.
    Willie Mullins' star could make his return to action in the Grade 2 event over two miles and is set to face tough opposition in the shape of up and coming hurdle star Rebel Fitz.

    The Galway Hurdle winner is being aimed at the contest after following up his Ballybrit success with an impressive performance at Cork.

    Trainer Michael Winters said: "He's in great order and we're looking forward to the race.

    "Thousand Stars is in there so it will be a step up for us if he runs, but our horse is in great form and has freshened up nicely.

    "He's not had a lot of hard races, this is a tough race, but we're expecting a big performance."

    Classy chaser Captain Cee Bee is another notable name that could line up.

    The mixed card on Sunday is the start of a three-day meeting at Limerick junction and also features the Group 3 Concorde Stakes on the level.

    Betfair Sprint Cup runner-up Gordon Lord Byron could clash with dual Group One winner Starspangledbanner in the seven-furlong contest.

    The later has had two runs since returning to the racecourse after a failed stud career and looked back to somewhere near his best in Group 3 company at the Curragh last month.

    Tom Hogan will be hoping Gordon Lord Byron can build on his showing in the Haydock Group 1 and he faces a step back up to seven furlongs having landed a York Listed contest over the trip on his previous start.

    Jane Davis Manager at Tipperary Races said: - “The entries for Super Sunday are fantastic; with four Graded races and plenty of entertainment planned the day is shaping up really well.

    "It would be wonderful to see Rebel Fitz at Tipperary again, the reaction he got from the crowd when he won here in July was electric and I can only image the celebrations if he goes on to win again on Sunday.

    "It is Family Day too with free admission for all U 18’s and free Family Fun entertainment throughout the day. Our parade ring MC’s David Byrnes and Kevin O’Ryan will be bringing all the action from Paris to our racegoers with live coverage on the big screen.

    "It will be a great few days for the track, having the new fixture as part of our Super Sunday and Season Finale line-up makes it very exciting for our team. We look forward to staging three great days of racing.”

    Doesn't look that exciting and I would probably be with Rebel Fitz. Too early for Mullins...

    Gowran Saturday could be decent if they all show. Probably depends who is most advanced of the big guns at this time of the season ?
