Alan Fleming eyeing Douvan rematch with Velvet Maker at Leopardstown

Velvet Maker is likely to have another crack at Douvan in the Frank Ward Solicitors Arkle at Leopardstown on January 24.

Alan Fleming’s seven-year-old was put well in his place by Willie Mullins’ potential superstar at Christmas, as he was in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham last March.
