Trainer Ciaran Murphy is excited about the long term prospects of two horses he runs on Sunday.

Speaking at Dundalk on Friday evening, following the win of Walhaan, Murphy said: "We have a nice horse we bought in France, Titanium, and we had a little bit of a setback with him early on in the year.

"He is running in Leopardstown on Sunday.

"The main him for him will be the last meeting in the Curragh where there is a premier handicap.

"Hopefully, we can get him back on track now and head for that."

The County Westmeath based trainer added: "Miss Dishy runs in a maiden hurdle in Limerick on Sunday and we like her.

"She is very progressive and she had a lovely first run for us over hurdles.

"She came from a very good hotel in Fowler's (Lorna) and she was well recommended to us.

"Now she is doing her job nicely, so we like the look of her."
