Reve de Sivola primed to complete Long Walk four-timer

Owner Paul Duffy expects Reve De Sivola to put up a bold show in his bid for a fourth successive victory in today’s JLT Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot.

The Nick Williams-trained 10-year-old has made the Grade One feature his own in recent years, completing his hat-trick with a particularly thrilling victory over Zarkandar 12 months ago.

He made a pleasing reappearance when sixth in the Grand Prix d’Automne at Auteuil last month and with conditions in his favour, Duffy is keeping his fingers crossed his pride and joy can emulate the great Baracouda, who won the Long Walk four times between 2000 and 2004.
