Kazal sticks to hurdles

Kazal is continuing down the hurdle route and is nearing his the first start of the winter jumping season.

Now seven, Eoin Griffin’s gelding did not take to novice chasing in a couple of attempts last season and ended up winning the Boyne Hurdle at Navan and finishing third to Inglis Drever in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.

“Kazal is making good progress and we are looking at bringing him back for something like the Lismullen Hurdle (at Navan in November),” said Griffin.
