Conti declared for handicap hurdle at Kempton tomorrow.
Nicholls is going to skip The Gold Cup with him isn't he and go for the National from all accounts?
I imagine they will skip Cheltenham. I assumed it would be for the Bowl again.
Think Nicholls fancies a tilt at the National with him, not sure he would stay for me, and he would be fairly high in the weights you'd imagine.
Willie Mullins stable tour in tomorrow's (Monday) RP and Nicky Henderson on Tuesday
Sire De Grugy, God's Own, Third Intention, Vibrato Valtat, Court Minstrel and Dunraven Storm have been declared for Tuesday's Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter. The race was re-offered but there were no additional declarations.
Looks a pretty handy renewal, and I like the look of Vibrato Valtat on soft ground. The small field wil suit him, too.
Took 3/1 when prices came out. Similar to Apache Stronghold in that he'd have looked a lot better at Cheltenham if he'd been held onto longer instead of trying to keep tabs on the runaway winner.
What, no Simonsig?
You are a big fan of Apache Euro. What do yo think is his most realistic race target that he can win this year?
Ryanair I am guessing is your hope but do you see him winning any of the bigger Irish races?
