Dunguib- Irish Banker Already?

Philip Fenton is in no rush to make any future plans for Dunguib after his awesome display in the Bar One Racing Royal Bond Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse. Last season’s Champion Bumper winner has made a seamless transition to obstacles and, after two relatively low-key successes over timber, he routed Grade One opposition by seven lengths on Wednesday.

Very Impressive Dunguib

Trainer Philip Fenton said

“At the moment we are going to stick to novice races, but I would imagine he’ll have an entry in the Champion Hurdle, If we did go down that route we might look at the Irish Champion Hurdle beforehand, but all the options are open and we just want to make sure we make the right decision.”

The Irish are already banking on Dunguib for the Supreme Novices Hurdle, even at this stage. You have to say he is the best novice about, by some way. Stan James bet for the Supreme Novices Hurdle 2010 ~ Outright Ante Post, (place terms: 1/4 the first 3)
