Hill to return soon over hurdles Ben Pauling is building up Barters Hill to make his eagerly-awaited comeback over hurdles next month. The Gloucestershire trainer has several options for the seven-year-old, who has been on the easy list since being injured on his chasing debut at Cheltenham 13 months ago. "We are now going to be out in mid-January," Pauling told Press Association Sport. "There are a few races about and we will put a name on which race nearer the time once he has done a little more. "I am very happy with everything and it is all going well." Barters Hill was a classy staying novice hurdler in the 2015-16 season, winning his first three starts before finishing fourth in the Albert Bartlett at the Cheltenham Festival.
