Bentelimar looks poised to complete hat-trick

Philip Fenton’s Bentelimar gets the nap to beat Aidan O’Brien’s Shield in the Wellingtonbridge Novice Hurdle at Wexford tonight.

Fenton’s charge is on a hat-trick mission and shapes as if well capable of turning over his 125-rated opponent.

Bentelimar got off the mark in fine style in a bumper at Tramore in April, justifying favouritism .
