Cheltenham on Pique agenda

Talented grey Pique Sous could make a third trip to Cheltenham in November following his resounding success on the Flat at Leopardstown last week.

Willie Mullins’ charge toiled in a heavy-ground Galway Hurdle last month and was then beaten at odds-on in a qualified riders’ race at Wexford, but there is no doubt he is a potent force when he gets his conditions.

Given a confident ride by Billy Lee, the six-year-old showed smart acceleration to win going away and Steve Massey, racing manager for owners Supreme Racing, is excited about the prospect of another trip to Prestbury Park this autumn.
