Divers is backed to resurface as winner
CHELTENHAM: Ferdy Murphy believes Divers can return to winning ways in today’s Byrne Group Plate.
Fourth last year, the Let’s Live Racing-owned grey has not won since prevailing at the Festival in 2011.
He will be ridden by Saltburn-born James Reveley.
On a relatively low-key day for Yorkshire runners, Nawton trainer David O’Meara runs Loose Performer in the Kim Muir for amateur riders while Jo Foster’s Leac An Scail takes his place in the Cross Country.
