Ante-Post Update

The most interesting race from a Cheltenham point of view this week was the Grade 2 novice hurdle at Sandown at Friday. This featured a nice dual between Fingal Bay and Simonsig. The former, a more experienced animal, prevailed but Simonsig ran a cracker after travelling like the winner and has got to be interesting if brought back in trip. I'e taken 14s about him for the Supreme.
Today in Ireland Mikael D'Haguenet finally got back to winning ways when cheekily winning a minor race over two miles at Fairyhouse. He's a horse I've backed a number of times in the past and I remain hopeful he can make it back to the top. He's worth a small investment for the World Hurdle at a big price.
