Dunguibon course for Gowran

DUNGUIB is reported to be responding well to treatment following a setback last week and is on course to make a belated reappearance at Gowran Park next month.

Trainer Philip Fenton is targeting the Red Mills Hurdle on February 12 for his stable star after poor blood results forced Dunguib to miss the BHP Insurances Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown on Sunday.

“He’s grand, he’s fine. He appears to be responding to the antibiotics, so now hopefully he’ll run in the Red Mills,” said Fenton.
