Greatrex remains keen on sending La Bague Au Roi back
to Leopardstown for the Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup. The nine-year-old mare won
the Flogas Novice Chase at the Dublin Racing Festival last season and is
pencilled in for a return to the showpiece fixture for the 250,000 euros
feature on February 2. She has options on home soil, with the Cotswold Chase at
Cheltenham on Saturday week and next month's Betfair Denman Chase at Newbury in
the mix, but the Lambourn handler favours another trip across the Irish Sea,
provided conditions at Leopardstown are suitable
Defi Du Seuil "couldn’t be better" as he heads into
Saturday's rematch with Un De Sceaux in the Matchbook Clarence House Chase at
Ascot.
Philip Hobbs'
charge edged out the Irish raider, a three-time winner of the weekend feature,
by a neck in the Betfair Tingle Creek Chase and his trainer reports him to be
giving all the right signals at home this time around. "He schooled
yesterday and worked this morning and it was all very good. Everything couldn’t
be better with him," he said told the Punter on Tuesday morning. Janika also has an entry
Looking back on
the Tingle Creek Hobbs said: “I thought between the last two that he’d go and
win well but he just got a bit lonely after jumping the last.”
Amy Murphy
reports Kalashnikov to be back to himself after being under the weather
following a disappointing run at Cheltenham on New Year's Day.
The Newmarket
trainer revealed her stable star returned home 'sick' when well-beaten behind
Oldgrangewood, who had beaten him a nose on his previous start at
Newbury. However, after treatment, Kalashnikov has now recovered and is being
prepared for the Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival."He was sick
after Cheltenham. He bled and then he started coughing a few days after. I'd
say he was harbouring something. I'd say that's the reason he bled," said
Murphy.
"We can put
a line through that run. He'd never been out of the first two in his life (when
he has completed the course)."He's had some antibiotics and he's
absolutely fine."He doesn't have to run between now and the Ryanair unless
I'm 100 per cent happy with him, but equally there are races like the Game Spirit."He'll
get entries, but we'll see. He doesn't have to go anywhere before Cheltenham
Shishkin earned a 15/2 quote from the sponsors (non-runner/no bet)
for the Sky Bet Supreme at Cheltenham with a scintillating victory at Newbury
on Wednesday Assessing Shishkin's future plans, Henderson hinted a step up to
two and a half miles could be on the cards.
He said:
"You'd better think about the Ballymore as well, as I won't promise it
will be the Supreme as Nico thought another half a mile might help him. I would
like another run."It's experience that I want and I wouldn't be frightened
of finding a nice little race. That would do well (the Sidney Banks at
Huntingdon). Timing is about right from mid-Jan to mid-Feb to March, I would
think."
