Red Mills Hurdle next up for Pittoni Pittoni is set to return to competitive action in the Red Mills Hurdle at Gowran on February 18th. The six-year-old won four times in succession for Charles Byrnes before finishing a creditable third in the Grade 1 Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown in November. He ran no sort of race when trailing home last in the International Hurdle at Cheltenham on his latest appearance and Byrnes is looking forward to getting him back on track. "We gave him a break after Cheltenham and will start him back in the Red Mills. Hopefully he could be one of the highest rated in that race," said Byrnes. "We'll see how he gets on there and make plans after that. He won't be going to Cheltenham."
