Dunguib plan Philip Fenton is set to campaign Dunguib with the major prizes in the spring in mind. The smart bumper performer barely came off the bridle in his four appearances over obstacles last winter but was then beaten at odds-on in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, before finishing only sixth in the Rabobank Champion Hurdle at Punchestown the following month. "Everything is fine, he's in good form and we're very happy with him," said Fenton. "He's just cantering away at the moment and we made the decision that he wouldn't start off until after Christmas because we don't want to run him in heavy ground again. "We just think that the second half of the season is more important than the first half, so hopefully we'll see him sometime in January. "The Irish Champion Hurdle might be ambitious for his first run but that might be an option, we'll just have a look and see nearer the time. "I've still got every faith in him and he's in brilliant order."
