News
Jamie Snowden is eyeing a drama free preparation to the Cheltenham Festival with stable star You Wear It Well after the Listed Mares' Hurdle from Warwick's cancelled Premier raceday was saved. The race will form part of Virgin Bet Grand National Trial day at Haydock on Saturday, and will be run over 2m3f for the same prize-money of £30,000 it had originally been scheduled for at Warwick. That fixture last Saturday was cancelled due to waterlogging when heavy rain caused disruption to meetings across Britain and Ireland.
Venetia Williams has told the punter L’Homme Presse will tackle Saturdays Ascot chase.
Possible Cheltenham targets for JP McManus' classy novice chaser Iroko have also become clearer.
Iroko, an impressive winner of the Martin Pipe last year, had been set to miss the rest of the season following his chase debut win at Warwick in the autumn, but has made a quicker recovery than expected and could still run in the Turners Novices' Chase.
