Racing: Justified will school at the Curragh tomorrow as he continues his recovery from a minor injury sustained earlier in the season.

Eamon Sheehy's eight-year-old finished an encouraging third behind Beef Or Salmon in November but was subsequently pulled up in the John Durkan Memorial Chase last month.

It was later discovered that Justified had hurt his back on that occasion but he is reportedly in good shape again now.

"He's been schooling well at home and I'm very happy with him, but I'm going to bring him to school at the Curragh tomorrow to make sure he's 100 per cent OK," explained Sheehy.

"He injured a joint in his back - just under the saddle - last time but he has been treated for it twice and it seems to be OK now.

"We have two options with him, either the Normans Grove Chase at Fairyhouse or the Kinloch Brae Chase at Thurles."
