- Aspire Tower bids for hat-trick in Spring Juvenile Hurdle
Aspire Tower bids for hat-trick in Spring Juvenile Hurdle

Henry de Bromhead and Rachael Blackmore teamed up for a Grade 1 double at Leopardstown yesterday with Notebook and Honeysuckle, and the pair will be hoping to add to their top level tally with Aspire Tower in the Tattersalls Ireland Spring Juvenile Hurdle.
The high-class Flat performer has made a big impression in winning over hurdles at Punchestown and Leopardstown, and will be a short-priced favourite to complete his hat-trick.
De Bromhead said, “If you set off to buy a horse off the Flat to go hurdling, he ticks a lot of boxes.
“He’s taken to hurdling really well. It was only his second run when he won here at Christmas and he hadn’t been to a schooling hurdle or anything, so you’d imagine that he should improve — he should have learnt plenty.
“We’re delighted with what he’s achieved so far and hopefully he can continue the same way.”
Among his nine rivals are Joseph O’Brien’s pair of A Wave Of The Sea and Cerberus as well as John McConnell’s Never Do Nothing
