Racing: Cork All Star is poised to make his eagerly-awaited hurdling debut at Fairyhouse on Saturday.
The Jessica Harrington-trained five-year-old, winner of the Weatherbys Champion Bumper at Cheltenham last season, holds an entry in the Winter Festival 2007 Maiden Hurdle.
"He's done very well over the summer and I'm happy with him," said Harrington. "He schooled last winter, so it's nothing new to him."
The race has been way over-subscribed with 153 entries for the two-and-a-quarter-mile contest.
"Hopefully, he'll get in," Harrington added.
Cork All Star won his first four starts, culminating with success at the Cheltenham Festival but he lost his 100 per cent record when fifth to Mick The Man in the Paddy Power INF Flat Race at Punchestown in April.
