Fishers on target for Bartlett

At Fishers Cross is delighting trainer Rebecca Curtis ahead of next month's Cheltenham Festival.

The six-year-old, owned by JP McManus, took his unbeaten run over jumps to four this season with a hard-fought success over The New One at Cheltenham last month.

At Fishers Cross is prominent in the ante-post betting for both the Neptune Investment Management and Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdles, but is more likely to go for the latter event.

"He's perfect. He came out of that race really good at Cheltenham," said trainer Rebecca Curtis.

"We've just freshened him up and we're on track for Cheltenham, hopefully. He'll go for the Albert Bartlett, I'd have thought."

The Oscar gelding won for Charlie Swan on his debut in a Cork bumper in November 2011 before crossing the water to join Curtis.
