Classy Khetaam can deliver

NOEL Meade’s Khetaam, in the Menapia Classic Mouldings Hurdle, rates the safest wager at Wexford this evening.

The eight-year-old has had his problems and was absent from November 2003, when winning a two-horse race at Down Royal, until reappearing at Leopardstown last month.

Hardly surprisingly, he went off an unconsidered 20-1 chance, but Khetaam proceeded to make a fine comeback, landing a competitive handicap by two and a half lengths.
