Latest going news and market moves as Carlo Biraghi goes hurdling
It is not often you can start the week off watching a maiden hurdler who was last sighted in the Irish Derby, but that is the case at Punchestown where Carlo Biraghi runs for Fozzy Stack.
A winner on debut at the Curragh, Carlo Biraghi was highly tried on his next two outings, finishing down the field in the Irish Derby, and now he switches codes.
In Britain there is a double helping of jumping action at Ffos Las and Fontwell, while a fast-track qualifier is the highlight of Wolverhampton's all-weather card.
