Facts Has Festival Aim Smart seven-year-old Footy Facts is likely to be back in action soon as connections aim to gear his programme towards the Brit Insurance Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham.Robert Tyner's horse confirmed himself a decent prospect when chasing home Noel Meade's classy Aran Concerto in a Grade One affair at Navan last time.He had previously impressed in winning a Listed event over three miles and a Grade Three contest over two and a half.Tyner feels the longer trip suits him ideally and hopes things go according to plan in the build-up to the Festival in March.'I will probably run him in a three mile novices' hurdle next weekend,' he said.'He'll probably have just one more run before Cheltenham, and I think he'll run in the three-miler there.'(C) PA Sport
