Soaring Glory Supreme plan yet to be confirmed
Betfair Hurdle winner is prominent in Festival market.
Soaring Glory is still not a definite runner at the Cheltenham Festival. Jonjo O’Neill’s six-year-old was an impressive winner of the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury last time out, and is fourth favourite for the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle which opens the meeting on Tuesday. However, O’Neill and owner Pat Hickey have still to have the definitive conversation which will decide whether or not he makes the short journey to Prestbury Park from the trainer’s Jackdaws Castle base.“We just haven’t discussed it. We’ll probably leave him in and have a look, so that’s about as much as I can say really. “There’s no real reason as such, other than Pat’s not a big fan. He loves Cheltenham, but he’d love to be able to go with a runner and enjoy it (in person).”
Soaring Glory!
