Hurl handed Christmas target

Mouse Morris is looking to run The Hurl at Leopardstown’s Christmas meeting following the six-year-old’s victory at Navan on Sunday.

The Hurl made all over two and a half miles to beat Quietly Fancied by a length and a half in the Grade Two “Monksfield” Novice Hurdle.

“There’s not a bother on him. He did it well over the longer trip and he could be decent,” said the Co Tipperary trainer.

“He’ll probably run over Christmas in one of the novices in Leopardstown.”
