Winner of a Grade 2 Novice Hurdle at Haydock last February, Now Is The Hour has hardly set the world alight over fences this season. He was pumped 48 lengths by Ile Atlantique in a 2m4½f chase at Navan before being beaten 37 lengths over 3m when next seen at Punchestown.
But it was his most recent run last Saturday - where he again finished out the places - that appears to have prompted his market plunge. Sent off 20-1 under Keith Donoghue, Now Is The Hour was held up before making smooth headway four from home. Now Is The Hour kept on well in the closing stages of the 3m contest on soft, being beaten four lengths by the highly regarded Three Card Brag.
