All systems go for Native

by Michelle Fortune , 15 March 2010

Go Native enjoyed a little breeze on the Cheltenham gallops on Monday morning and afterwards trainer Noel Meade declared himself to be very happy with his condition.


Victory in the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle would see the seven-year-old claim a £1million bonus for winning the WBX.COM Hurdling Triple Crown - he has already won the Fighting Fifth and Christmas Hurdles.

Unseen since his victory at Kempton, the Supreme Novices' Hurdle hero arrived at Cheltenham on Saturday and was out on the gallops early on Monday and Meade could not be happier with his form.

"Everything is good, the horse travelled great, he's in great order and I couldn't be happier with him," said Meade.

"It's all systems go. He looked great this morning, he had a little breeze out on the track and he was nice and fresh.

"His last piece of work was pretty good all right, we were very happy with it."
