Ninetieth set for Hatton test

Ninetieth Minute is set to test his mettle in Grade One company for the first time in the Bar One Racing Hatton's Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse on Sunday week.

Tom Taaffe's Coral Cup winner ran a fine race to finish third in the Lismullen Hurdle at Navan on his first start of the campaign and the trainer feels his charge has improved since.

"I was happy with him at Navan where he ran a good race in very testing ground," said Taaffe.

"I loved the way he stayed on and he will be better for the run, so we will find out how good he is in the Hatton's Grace.

"There are 14 entries and I think it will be a very select field on the day."
