Sams Profile 'only 50-50' to run in Christmas Hurdle
Sams Profile, one of the leading novice hurdlers from last season, is not certain to reappear in the Grade 1 Leopardstown Christmas Hurdle on December 28.
Trainer Mouse Morris may aim the five-year-old at the Grade 2 Galmoy Hurdle at Gowran Park next month, with chasing off the table for this season at least.
Morris said: "He'd only be 50-50 [to run at Christmas]. He's grand, but he might not be ready for a Grade 1 race. Gowran might be more likely."
Morris also had news of French Dynamite, an impressive winner of a maiden hurdle at Thurles on debut for the trainer last month, identifying the Grade 1 Lawlor's of Naas Novice Hurdle as the next target for the four-year-old.
The trainer said: "He's in good form and I'd say Naas will be the plan for him."
