Racing:  No Full will have the assistance of Barry Geraghty as he makes his first start for Eoin Doyle in Thursday's Ellen Construction Thyestes Handicap Chase.

Since moving to Ireland this season, No Full has produced three decent efforts mixing hurdles and fences and is prominent in the betting for the famous Gowran Park event.

However, those starts have been for Tom Foley - he was with Paul Webber in Britain - and the gelding was only acquired by Doyle after finishing fourth in a Grade Two novice hurdle at Naas on January 6th.

"I've only had him for two weeks — he was bought just after his last run," said Doyle.

"He's been running well and was third in the Paddy Power Chase over Christmas, so if he could repeat that performance he'd have to have a great chance.

"He seems very well and has been eating well so we're happy. Barry Geraghty will ride."
