Bay Is Newbury Possible

Dancing Bay may take on champion staying hurdlers Baracouda and Inglis Drever at Newbury on Saturday.

The eight-year-old is a classy stayer on the Flat and has four wins to his credit over hurdles, including one over an extended two miles at the Berkshire track.

Fit from a recent fourth on the Flat at Musselburgh, Dancing Bay holds an entry in the Ballymore Properties Long Distance Hurdle, a race which has been won by Baracouda for the last two years.

The Grade Two contest over an extended three miles is being billed as a re-match between Inglis Drever and the French-trained ace who were first and second in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival last season.

'It´s possible he could run there. We are struggling to find suitable races for him,' said Matthew Budden, racing manager to owners the Elite Racing Club.

'We will have a look at the race and see what else is likely to run before we make up our minds.'
