Tazbar target
KEITH Reveley is keen to
see if Tazbar has what it
takes at the highest level at
the Grand National
meeting.
The Saltburn handler
decided to skip the
Cheltenham Festival with
his exciting novice and his
form was handed yet
another boost when
Donald McCain's Whiteoak
won the David Nicholson
Mares Hurdle.
Reveley confirmed the
Grade One Sefton Novices'
Hurdle is still on the
agenda and all being well a
tilt at next year's World
Hurdle could be on the
cards.
He's spot-on at the minute
and in good form.
Hopefully I can keep him
as he is at the moment,''
said Reveley.
His form all the way
through is rock solid and
he's probably got
improvement to come, he
is only young.
It's amazing he had the
toe to beat Whiteoak over
two (miles) but he is a
proper three-miler, he
wasn't stopping at
Haydock. He's a proper
stayer with the pace to
travel and jump.
Aintree should be tailormade
for him because you
do need a bit of pace
round there and if you had
to pick a track to suit him
you would probably go for
that one.
He was beaten in the
bumper there last year but
the race came a bit late. He
was trained for Grand
National day and the race
came three weeks later.
Ground doesn't bother
him as long as it's not
bottomless and it only
comes up really soft there
once every 20 years.
A lot depends on how he
copes with Grade One
company and we would
have to think about the
World Hurdle next year.
Inglis Drever is a great
horse but he will be ten
next year and he can't go
on forever. We'd have to
have a crack at that
providing he shows he is
up to that standard.''
