Tubber’s O’Connor Believes Easysland Is Beatable In Cross County Chase At Cheltenham

A Clare jockey who’s a four time winning jockey at the Cheltenham Festival believes favourite Easysland is beatable in today’s Cross Country race at Cheltenham.

Derek O Connor won the 2011 renewal of the race on outside Zemsky, but cannot ride at the Cotswolds this year due to public health restrictions on amateur riders.

Grand National winner Tiger Roll is among those who’ll line up in the race later today.

O Connor believes French favourite Easysland is difficult to oppose but will be challenged this afternoon.

That race gets underway at 3.40, with the seven race card beginning at 1.20.
