Meade ponders next target for Iktitaf

NOEL MEADE has reported his Tolworth Hurdle absentee Iktitaf fine after an examination on returning to his yard in Navan.

The Grade One winner was due to go off a short-priced favourite at Sandown but he was an 11th-hour withdrawal after he became cast his in his box.

“He got a bang on his hock while he was in his box which was enough for us to pull him out, but he is fine now,” said Meade.
