BAILEY AVOIDS TEMPTATION

VINNDICATION defended his unbeaten record with a fluent Sidney Banks Memorial Novices’ Hurdle victory at Huntingdon, but is unlikely to head to Cheltenham next month.

Kim Bailey, whose fiveyear-old is a 14-1 shot for the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle, said: “Temptations are there to be put in front of you.

“We are a month away from Cheltenham. I know where the owners would like to go, but I have got to look after the horse.”
