Neville keen to up Nile in trip Trainer Seamus Neville is looking forward to stepping Ask Nile up in distance later this season. Already the winner of a point-to-point and a hurdle race, the five-year-old opened his account over regulation fences at Killarney in May. He has had to make do with minor honours on each of his three starts since, most recently chasing home Rathvinden in a Grade Three at Tipperary, but Neville feels his charge is capable of raising his game when he tackles three miles. Neville said: "He is on a short break at the moment after his Tipperary run. I have nothing in particular mapped out for him. "He will stay in novice company for his next few runs, but we may then look at handicaps. "We are anxious to run him over three miles as we do think that might be his ideal trip. Apart from his point-to-point runs he hasn't ran over three."
