Strong support for Gilligan bumper horse

Published at Dec 12, 2009, 12:22

Kings County Star has been the subject of a serious plunge in the bumper at Fairyhouse this afternoon.

The Paul Gilligan-trained runner has been backed from 12/1 this morning into 5/2f second favourite.

The gelding was due to be ridden by Miss E Lynch, a sister of rider Andrew, but the seven-pound claimer is reportedly unwell.

Stewards left it to the last minute to allow a request for Robbie McNamara to take the mount.
