Jockey Timmy Murphy schooled Beef Or Salmon before racing at Limerick today as Michael Hourigan's chaser continued his build-up to the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
"He worked this morning before racing rather than afterwards because it suited Timmy Murphy as he would be rushing away after racing," said the trainer.
"He jumped five fences and I was very pleased with him. He will have another racecourse gallop but as yet I'm not sure where or when."
Hourigan has been working overtime to get the eight-year-old in peak condition for the Festival as the horse has had several setbacks since finishing third to Best Mate over Christmas.
Beef Or Salmon was found to have mucus in his lungs shortly after that race and then had a muscle problem which forced him to miss the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup earlier this month.
