HARRY Fry is looking forward to unleashing Grade One-winning hurdler Bitofapuzzle over fences.

The Seaborough trainer could give the seven-year-old her first start over larger obstacles at Exeter next month.

Starting last season with a win in a listed bumper at Cheltenham, the daughter of Tamure continued her rapid progression when switched to hurdles, culminating with a victory in a Grade One mares’ novice hurdle at Fairyhouse on her last start.

Fry said: “Bitofapuzzle is about to start over fences and she could go to Exeter on either December 4 or 17.

“She has taken a bit of time to get ready, but we haven’t rushed her as I want her at her best come the big spring meetings.

“She has been been very good at home and it will be exciting to get her going over fences. Hopefully she will be good enough to compete against the boys.”

Stablemate Blue Buttons is to be switched back to hurdles after failing to compete on her chasing bow.

After claiming a Listed hurdle at Wetherby on her seasonal return last month, the seven-yearold was made an odds-on chance to back that up with a debut win over fences in a mares’ only contest at Wincanton last week.

However the four-times hurdle winner failed to get round after parting company with jockey Noel Fehily at the 10th fence.

Fry said: “Blue Buttons is absolutely fine, but she won’t be going back over fences again. She is just not very big and she couldn’t really see over them.

“We had to try her over them, though, as she had done so well over hurdles and there was not much for her over hurdles after her win at Wetherby.”

Fry also revealed Henryville is unlikely to be seen out until March after sustaining setback when chasing home Irish Cavalier in an intermediate chase at Newton Abbot last month.

Fry said: “After his run at Newton Abbot he just picked up a minor injury. He would have only run once more after that race and the Rising Stars Novices’ Chase at Wincanton probably would have been it, but the ground went against him there anyway.

“He will be back in training around Christmas time with a view to having him out in March.

“He likes the decent ground, so he will be kept going through the spring and summer on the good ground as there are some valuable prizes he could run in.”

Meanwhile, Fry’s yard remains on top form. He has seen both Presenting Arms win at Kempton and Jessber’s Dream seal success at Lingfield this week.
