Murphy hopeful of De Boitron success

FERDY Murphy will send De Boitron and Riguez Dancer on the long journey down from North Yorkshire to Cheltenham for today’s and tomorrow’s meetings.

De Boitron, fourth in the Grand Annual at the Festival, takes his chance in the Masterson Holdings Silver Trophy Chase while Riguez Dancer will aim to win the Auriga Network Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Chase which De Boitron won 12 months ago.

“De Boitron would have a good chance. He ran fourth in the Grand Annual at the Festival but he won over two and a half miles at Stratford last year and we think he will get the trip all right.
