Slattery primes Sunchart for hurdles Andy Slattery is looking forward to getting Sunchart started over hurdles at Punchestown this month (15th). The son of Teofilo is rated 103 on the Flat after being pipped by a short head in Listed class at Naas in November, but is set for a switch to flights. Slattery, speaking during his recent racing story (https://www.irishracing.com/blogs/My-Racing-Story-Andy-Slattery/237510), said: "He might not be over yet because we brought him to the Curragh to school over hurdles and he is electric over them. He could be anything over hurdles. "He has a fair engine and he showed a lot of aptitude for it the other day in the Curragh. He'll be ready to run in a maiden hurdle in about four weeks. "He loves soft ground and tolerates better ground." Sunchart was eighth in the Irish Derby of 2020 behind Santiago. The five-year-old gelding has accumulated earnings of over €90,000 on the Flat.
