THIS year’s Irish Draught stallion class is the stage for a rematch between several former champions. Plus, a couple of graduates from the HSI inspections in March are likely to be amongst the entries.

Sean Barker’s veteran Gortfree Hero (Castana), a former triple champion, is back, as is last year’s overall champion - Pat Hoare’s Moylough Supremacy (Carrabawn Cross) and his full-brother Moylough Legacy, owned too by Hoare.
