MURPHY SET FOR MIDLANDS CALL UP: My Murphy is being campaigned for a crack at the Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter.
My Murphy, who finished a staying on second to the impressive Djakadam in the Thyestes Chase is being aimed long term at the Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter.
The nine-year-old, trained by Liam Burke finished nine lengths behind Djakadam who now has the loftier target of the Cheltenham Gold Cup on his horizon.
Burke said: “My Murphy ran a cracker. He was probably lucky to be second, but that’s racing. The winner was only a second-season novice going against seasoned handicappers, but he was the class horse of the race. The race we’re looking at for him is the Midlands National in Uttoxeter. I think that’s probably the race to aim for as you usually get soft ground there.”
Meanwhile, Un De Sceaux has shortened even further for the Arkle Chase on the BETDAQ ante-post market. He was trading at 1.86 on Tuesday morning.
