Having gis first run since December, and his first under Flat rules, Back In Front, the 2003 Supreme Novices Hurdle winner, warmed up for the season ahead with a good performance here. Settles mid-division, he began to improve turning for home and after been shaken up and briefly moving left early in the straight he picked up well to lead over one furlong out and settled the outcome very quickly. According to trainer Edward O' Grady, the Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown on November 14th will be the step for the winner as he continues the build up to the Champion Hurdle. |
