Farren Glory is set to revert to hurdling in a bid to boost his confidence.

The Fame And Glory gelding won his beginners' chase at Naas in November and since then has finished runner-up in Grade 2 and Grade 3 novice chases at Punchestown.

Gordon Elliott said: “He’s not jumping fences as well as I wanted.

"I’m going to give him a run over hurdles and try and get a bit of confidence into him if I can."

Farren Glory holds an entry in the Grade 2 Boyne Hurdle at Navan on Sunday.

His most notable success over flights came in the Grade 1 Royal Bond at Fairyhouse in December 2023.
