Hughes in the hunt for Naas prize

Dessie Hughes believes Schindlers Hunt is showing all the signs of being back to his best ahead of the paddypower.com Newlands Chase at Naas on Sunday.

The eight-year-old was a smart novice chaser last term but has not visited the winner’s enclosure for 13 months and was only fourth of six to Tamarinbleu in the Victor Chandler Chase at Ascot on his latest start.
