Navan race success should leave Taglietelle primed to deliver in Dundalk

On tonight’s eight-race programme at Dundalk, Taglietelle gets the nap to land the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Handicap for trainer Gordon Elliott and jockey Jack Kennedy.

The six-year-old has developed into a high-class hurdler and, as recently as last Sunday week at Navan, ran a super race to finish third behind Cheltenham Champion Hurdle runner-up Arctic Fire.

As that was his first run since early July he is entitled to come on, and the drop back to the all-weather should pose no problem.
