Dunguib and Sceaux set to clash

Dunguib is on course to have his second comeback run this weekend at either Gowran Park or Navan, meaning he could clash with Champion Hurdle dark horse Un De Sceaux.

Trainer Philip Fenton is leaning towards the Red Mills Trial Hurdle at Gowran on Saturday, a race Dunguib won in 2011. His other option is the Ladbrokes Boyne Hurdle at Navan on Sunday.

“He’s going to run on Saturday or possibly on Sunday at Navan. Saturday looks the more obvious one,” said Fenton. “Everything’s absolutely fine, he’s working well and we’re happy with him.”
