HOMER WELLS made an amazing recovery after nearly being brought down to claim the Grade Two Woodlands Park 100 Slaney Novice Hurdle at Naas yesterday.

Solerina has been confirmed on course for the AIG Irish Champion Hurdle at Leoparstown on January 23.

Dessie Hughes believes that Hardy Eustace has a “good chance of turning Solerina over” in the Bewleys Hotels December Festival Hurdle at Leopardstown tomorrow.

SOLERINA and Hardy Eustace, first and second at Navan two weeks ago, are on course to clash at Leopardstown next Wednesday.

Harchibald, ante-post favourite for the Smurfit Champion Hurdle, looks set to reappear at Kempton over the Christmas period.
