Aitmatov on track for Tara

Noel Meade is confident Aitmatov can get off the mark for the campaign in the Giltspur Scientific Tara Hurdle at Navan on Sunday.

The seven-year-old has failed to hit front since winning last year’s Hatton’s Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse but was a creditable fourth in this season’s renewal at the end of last month.
