SUE BRAMALL, who registered beer biggest success in this country since moving her training operations from Yorkshire when her Grand National entry, Antonin, was successful at Punchestown on Sunday, may be back in the winner's enclosure after Canaillou II has contested the Ballyvaughan Handicap Chase at Clonmel this afternoon.

Another French bred, Canaillou II is unlucky not be chasing a hat trick of wins, for following a smooth victory at Limerick at Christmas, he looked to have another handicap chase at his mercy at Tramore in January until crashing at the last. He was remounted to finish sixth.

Barry Cash, who has shown himself to be a talented performer over fences when winning on the novices, Rockfield Native and The Latvian Lark, has been booked to ride, and Canaillou II is taken to come home ahead of the consistent Irish Light.

The Bramall stable may also have the winning of the Templemore Handicap Hurdle with Blue Irish, third to Be Home Early over today's course. A son of Roselier, he should be suited by today's additional half mile.
