No, unfortunately, not. Nothing has been highlighted at all.

There is a long term one though which I know I’ve said before, and that’s, Doubly Clever in the ‘Fred Winter’ at the Festival. Unbeaten over hurdles (3/3) it is envisaged, at this stage, that he won’t run over them again until Cheltenham (may have an all-weather run as a ‘prep’ a few weeks before then though). Noel Fehily has ridden him in all his races, over the sticks, and was apparently very impressed. The stable have never had a beast anywhere near this good but certainly know what to do with a horse. As a result he should be hugely, and I do mean hugely, underestimated by those bookie chappies. Doubly Clever is currently 40/1 for the race but it seems pointless to dive into the ante-post market, yet, as I can’t see those odds contracting for quite some time.

Unbeaten over hurdles is not the usual profile of a Fred Winter horse Barney. You want a slow burner that is gradually improving over the sticks.

Yep, you’re right Stick. But this one may well be the one to buck the old trend.
