At the Start
I wouldn't run my dog at Wetherby's Chase course these days.
Morris said: "The going is good to firm, firm in places and the forecast is for fine weather, which was not ideal and we decided it was too firm for him. The Durkan (December 7) is his first main target, but we might still go to Thurles."
Really looking forward to seeing Tranquil Sea over fences tommorrow at Cork. Exciting prospect over fences, though it looks a decent race tommorrow, with the likes of Baltiman and Holly Tree.
Great round of jumping. Very nice prospect.
"He has a great appetite for a fence and the Drinmore Chase at Fairyhouse on November 30 is the next logical step."
"War Of Attrition will take his chance at Thurles, all being well, and there have been no hiccups since Punchestown," said Morris.
"He hasn't done an awful lot since, to be honest, and we have just been keeping him ticking over - but he seems in good form.
"We decided to miss the Charlie Hall because of the fast ground, but the ground at Thurles should be absolutely perfect.
"We will get this race out of the way before we talk about where he might go afterwards."
"It's small steps at a time, he's entered in The John Durkan Chase and The Betfair Chase and all of the other usual races. I've nothing in my head at the moment as of where to go I'd prefer to wait until the morning to see how he is. It's one race at a time!"
