Adrian Heskin admits he’d be thrilled to deliver Cheltenham Festival glory to Greenock.
The 30-year-old is determined to get back into the winners enclosure at the showpiece meeting. At the same time, the opportunity to succeed for his Scottish pals offers a huge additional motivation for Heskin. As well as being retained jockey for owner Max McNeill, the talented Irishman also rides the jumps horses of Greenock brothers Patrick and Scott Bryceland.
With the smart Magical Zoe, the Scots siblings have an outstanding chance of landing success a week today in the Jack De Bromhead Mares Novices’ Hurdle. The following afternoon, Three Card Brag, trained by Gordon Elliott, goes for the Bryceland boys and McNeill in the Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle. Heskin knows providing a Festival winner for his friends would be a wonderful moment and said: “It’s great for Paddy and Scott to be going to the Festival with two live chances.
