NOEL Meade is leaning towards sending the exciting Ned Buntline over hurdles this season.

The four-year-old finished second to Jessica Harrington's nice prospect Jezki in January but looked a different animal when coasting to victory at Naas earlier this month.

Meade could not contain his excitement about Ned Buntline after the race, and the sky really could be the limit for JP McManus' gelding.

"I would say that it's 80-20 that he goes jumping," said Meade.

"I just haven't had chance to speak to JP yet but that's the way I'm thinking at the moment.

"He's a very nice horse and he seems to jump well at home anyway."

The Beatles started a revolution back in the USSR

If ever a band has been well served by the literary world it's The Beatles. Practically every aspect of that revolutionary body of work has been dealt with in book form... or so one would have thought. From Hunter Davies' The Beatles, through Philip Norman's Shout, Bob Spitz's humongously detailed history and Ian McDonald's brilliant Revolution in the Head, which offered a musical and contextual analysis of every song they ever recorded, surely there's nothing left of interest to diehard fans of the Fabs. Well, think again.
