Trainer Barry Campbell will give his talented galloper Alpine Wolf the chance to win next year’s Ladbrokes Devonport Cup after a brilliant return to racing in the Open Hcp (1009m) in Devonport on Wednesday.

We won’t divulge ages but it’s fair to say the oldest combination of horse, trainer and jockey could provide the best bet of the day at the midweek program in Devonport on Wednesday.

Coming off arguably one of the best campaigns of his career, recent trials of rising 10-year-old Liffeybeau suggest there is plenty of good racing left in the tank.

Trainer Imogen Miller mad mixed feelings when her stable newcomer Dunbrody Power edged out her more fancied stablemate Algernon to win the Winzenberg Quality Handicap over 1100 metres in Hobart on Sunday.

Algernon hasn’t been the easiest horse to train, just ask his trainer Imogen Miller.
