Dysart Enos has been cut to 4/1 from 7/1 with BoyleSports for the Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle after she ran out an impressive winner at Cheltenham today for the local Fergal O’Brien team.
The stable star recorded her fifth win from five runs under rules and looks to be the yard’s best chance yet of a Cheltenham Festival success.
The five-year old is now joint-favourite alongside Gordon Elliott’s Better Days Ahead. Fun Fun Fun for team Mullins is next in the betting at 10/1 and is declared to run at Thurles on Sunday.
Latenightpass is now 12/1 from 20/1 with BoyleSports for the Cross Country Chase at Cheltenham in March after winning the December edition of the race over the banks.
On just his second run for the Dan Sketon team, Bridget Andrews gave the ten-year-old, bred and owned by her mother-in-law, a confident ride, seeing off the late challenge of Francky Du Berlias.
Go Dante landed a gamble for the Olly Murphy yard, running out a ready winner of the two-mile-one-furlong handicap hurdle under Sean Bowen.
With some of today’s winners having their eyes set on big targets in March, Go Dante may well be turned out quickly in the Betfair Exchange Trophy next week, where he is 10/1 from 25/1 with BoyleSports.
Brian O’Keeffe, spokesperson for BoyleSports, said: “There were plenty of impressive performances on the Cotswolds today and as a result, we’ve been forced to cut a number of horses ahead of the Cheltenham Festival in March, with Dysart Enos one to look forward to for the local Fergal O’Brien yard.”
