Back In Front heads Hattons Grace entries

Back in Front, Sacundai and Solerina could renew rivalry at Fairyhouse on Sunday in the Ballymore Properties Hattons Grace Hurdle.

The trio dominated the Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown earlier this month, and Edward O’Grady did not rule out the possibility of his pair again meeting in the two and a half miles event.

´Both Back In Front and Sacundai are well and may run but it all depends on the ground, and I won’t decide until Friday morning,´ said O’Grady.

The Ballynonty trainer confirmed Pizarro ´on course´ for the Pierse Group Drinmore Novice Chase, which also includes recent winners Nil

Desperandum and Satco Express among the 14 remaining entries.

The Boylesports Royal Bond Novice Hurdle is the third Grade 1 race on a very attractive card, and the 16 entries include recent winners Accordion Etoile and Rupununi together with the Willie Mullins-trained pair Clounties Hill and Kim Fontaine.
