Ten Fires can burn off opposition

DESSIE Hughes’ horses are in fine shape right now and his Ten Fires gets the napto take the 20 runner www.navanracecourse.ie Maiden Hurdle at the Co Meath track this afternoon.

The seven-year-old put up his best effort to date at Fairyhouse back in October when beaten a short head into second by Academy Sir Harry.

That winner went on to land a Grade 3 at Navan next time and the third, Kennel Bridge, beaten a further nine lengths, has since scored twice.
