Racing: Enda Bolger plans to be triple-handed in his bid to win the La Touche Cup for a remarkable 10th successive year.

Heading his team for the race at Punchestown on April 26th is the veteran Spot Thedifference.

The 14-year-old, who took this prize in 2004, will be joined by Abram's Bridge, winner of the DNG Ladies Cup at the Punchestown Festival in 2006 and Darby Wall, fifth in the Kim Muir at the Cheltenham Festival last month.

Bolger said: "The pressure is on now. I have to win this one and I'm going to throw the kitchen sink at it in terms of runners!

"Not only for sentimental reasons, but it's now worth 40,000 which cannot be sniffed at."
