Blazing Bailey leads World Hurdle field
Blazing Bailey and Kazal feature among the 13 horses declared for Thursday’s Ladbrokes.com World Series Hurdle at Punchestown.
The former won at the Aintree Festival earlier in the month, while the latter has not been seen since finishing third behind Inglis Drever at Cheltenham.
Aitmatov, already a Grade One winner this term, will bid to keep the ball rolling for an in-form Noel Meade.
The presence of smart novices Venalmar and Cooldine adds further spice to the three-mile heat, while Catch Me, Earth Magic and Refinement will also run.
Chief Dan George, Faasel, Footy Facts, Homer Wells and Kerryhead Windfarm complete the line-up.
