Isn't it just the time of year?

Is Hendo one of those trainers that buggers off to Antigua for three or four weeks to recharge the appetite for Cheltenham while the second and third division horses get sent out to lower their handicap marks? There's the odd job along the way to keep the staff happy but it's often a quiet time during which they blame the after-effects of the flu jab, etc.

I wouldn't worry long term. The worry with Mister Coffey might be that they're trying to get his GN mark down  another notch or five.

Hands up, though, I do tend to overthink these banditry theories...
