Gilligan on the mark with Mister Bishop

Paul Gilligan, trainer of Cheltenham winner Berties Dream, was on the mark in the Under 18s Are Free Beginners Chase (div 1) at Tipperary today, with 20/1 shot Mister Bishop under Robbie McCarth.

Gilligan was absent, saddling runners at Ffos Las, but his representative Chloe Osbourne reported “Mister Bishop is a good jumper and today’s trip and ground were in his favour – he has earned his Galway ticket today!”
