Siege returns to Gowran on Saturday Dessie Hughes is anticipating a bold show from Siegemaster in the Red Mills Chase at Gowran Park on Saturday. The nine-year-old has yet to finish out of the money in four starts this season, running a fine race to finish third in last month's Thyestes Chase under a big weight. He holds an entry in Newbury's Aon Chase on the same day, but is set to stay at home and avoid a clash with the mighty Denman. "He's going to head to Gowran Park all being well and he seems in good form," said Hughes. "He ran well in the Thyestes to finish third and the form looks good with the winner (Whinstone Boy) coming out and winning again. "Our horse goes in any ground and although there are one or two rated higher than him on Saturday, I don't think he's badly handicapped and he should run well. "Long-term he will probably end up in the Irish National."
