Back In Front can oblige

CHAMPION Hurdle aspirant Back In Front gets the vote to beat Intersky Falcon in a fascinating John James McManus Memorial Hurdle at Tipperary tomorrow.

Edward O’Grady’s six-year-old is a brilliant performer, when on song, and though unlikely to be anywhere near fully wound up at such an early part of the campaign, has the class to cut down his rival in the closing stages.

The selection produced a breathtaking display at the Cheltenham Festival, taking the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle by ten lengths.
