Ladbrokes.com Bet In Running Craddockstown Novice Chase (Grade 2) 2m, 4yo+
Quote:
HENRY DE BROMHEAD seems to have another nice horse on his hands after his smashing-looking six-year-old Days Hotel bagged a first Graded win in this 2m contest.

Quote:
De Bromhead has won this race before with 2010 Arkle hero Sizing Europe, while another novice to land this before going on to Cheltenham glory was the great Moscow Flyer. Days Hotel would not be of the same quality as that pair, but he looks a good sort who can go on to greater things.

De Bromhead said: "That was very good, his jumping was great and he's improving all the time. If everything's alright, we'll go for the Racing Post Grade 1 Novice' Chase [at Leopardstown on December 26]."
