Meade keen on Disko Noel Meade expects last year's Punchestown Champion Bumper runner-up Disko to take high rank in the novice hurdle division this season, despite suffering an odds-on defeat on his debut over obstacles at Galway recently. "I think the ground was a bit too quick for him at Galway, especially over two miles," said the County Meath handler. "He'll be a better horse next time and I'll be very disappointed if he's not up with the best of them this year. "He'll go for a maiden hurdle at one of the bigger tracks like Navan or Punchestown." Snow Falcon has a consistent profile, having only finished out of the first three twice from 10 starts. The five-year-old got back on the winning trail at Naas on Sunday and is set for a step up in class. Meade said: "He jumped moderately at Naas and he really frightened me with the mistake he made at the second-last. "He lacks a gear, but gallops forever and we'll probably aim him at the three-mile race at Leopardstown at Christmas (Christmas Hurdle)."
