Indian Daudaie, third in the JCB Triumph Hurdle Trial at Cheltenham on Saturday, is an intended runner in the Spring Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown this weekend...

The Paul Nicholls-trained four-year-old, who runs in the colours of the Timeform Betfair Racing Club, features among eleven entries for the two-mile contest at Leopardstown (13:05) on Sunday and looks to have an excellent chance on Timeform figures, the form he showed when third behind Local Hero at Cheltenham on Saturday making him a clear top rated in the €70,000 race.

Paul reported earlier in the week that Indian Daudaie was fine following his Cheltenham exertions and the plan was to let him take his chance at Leopardstown, with the likelihood of softer ground sure to be in his favour.

Paul said of Indian Daudaie in his Betfair column on Saturday "Joined us after finishing second in a Grade 1 at Auteuil in November - though he was beaten 15 lengths by Tanais Du Chenet - so we haven't had him that long. But he has done nothing but please us since he has been here, improving physically, and I was delighted with his third at Cheltenham last week.

"I thought he would need last week's outing, so to finish under 5 lengths third to Local Hero, giving it 3lb, was a great first effort for us and a run that put him up there with the best of my juveniles. Harry thought they were always going a little too quickly for him on the ground at Cheltenham, so the softer conditions here will definitely suit.

"I was thinking of the Victor Ludorum at Haydock but the track could be a little tight for him there, so we decided to bite the bullet and go for this Grade 1 race. Of course, it could come too soon for him but it's 70,000 euro to the winner and conditions should suit him.

"And the Irish juveniles haven't set the pulse racing so far this season, which was underlined by the fact that when we looked at the race on Tuesday, Indian Daudaie was 9lb clear on Timeform ratings on his Cheltenham run. So we decided to take our chance in Grade 1 company, and give Pride Of Dulcote some travelling company. AP rides and, without giving too much away, we wouldn't be afraid to make much more use of him at Leopardstown. Let's hope he gives a good account of himself for the Timeform Betfair Racing Club".
