Drinmore could come into the reckoning for Thedevilscoachman

Noel Meade is considering running Thedevilscoachman in Drinmore Novice Chase at Fairyhouse on Sunday. The six-year-old hurdler is owned by JP McManus and finished last season with victory in the Grade Two Boyne Hurdle at Navan. Mead is frustrated by the quicker ground following a scorching summer and relatively dry autumn. Constitution Hill will take his place in Betfair Fighting Fifth HURDLE at Newcastle on Saturday. Constitution was intended to make his seasonal bow at Ascot in Coral Ascott HURLLE last Saturday but was withdrawn due to bad ground conditions.
