Punchestown date for Sublimity

NEW champion hurdler Sublimity is to be aimed at the Punchestown Champion Hurdle on April 27, trainer John Carr has revealed.

There had been suggestions the seven-year-old could be put away for the remainder of the National Hunt season to be prepared for a crack at the totesport Ebor at York on the level, but for the moment those plans are on the back-burner.

“He started back cantering on Monday and he’s been out second lot this morning,” Carr said.
