Harry Fry confirms Neon Wolf will run in Neptune rather than Supreme

Neon Wolf will run in the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, trainer Harry Fry confirmed.The son of Vinnie Roe has been hugely impressive on his three starts to date under Rules, completing his hat-trick with a stunning display in a Supreme Trial at Haydock in January.Connections left the door open for a crack at the Supreme Novices' Hurdle on Tuesday, but with the ground drying out, he will instead step up in trip the following afternoon.Fry told Press Association Sport: "He'll run in the Neptune, all being well."We said all along it would have to be slow ground for him to run in the Supreme and we've got drying ground."He's in good form and we're looking forward to it."The Seaborough handler also revealed his unbeaten chaser American would miss the Festival due to unsuitable ground."It's just dried out too much for him. He'll have an entry in a novice handicap chase at Uttoxeter next Saturday," Fry added.
