Olly Murphy is Brewin'up a surprise for New Year’s Day at Cheltenham

Cheltenham Racecourse hosts their annual seven-race card on New Year's Day. Last year 30,000 people came to watch the racing. Olly Murphy trains at Warren Chase Stables, 30 miles away from the track. He has five expected runners on Sunday. The highlight event is the Grade 2 Relkeel Hurdle at 2:30. In the Dipper Novices’ Chase, Murphy will be hoping that his progressive Thunder Rock can add his name to the prestigious roll of honour list. Thomas Darby is reverting to handicap company for the first time in a couple of years.
