San Calvado
Ryan Air Chase
He is been second at Ryanair two seasons in the past and I believe we labored at Ascot the opposite day that he wants to make use of his left hand and likewise needs good floor.
He ran very well in King George when he received there too early and bled out the opposite day in Ascot, so we modified his routine accordingly.
It appears to be like like St Calvados is able to head to the Ryanair chase in Cheltenham after Ascot Chase on Saturday
I did not suspect but, and if we are able to get a pleasant spring flooring, there might be a pleasant race in it someplace. He could be very aggressive in a race like Ryanair.

He was a unbelievable horse and received his Gold Cup for the primary time this yr at Daybreak Royale,” Nichols continued.
It did not fairly work out for King George after they went quick and the bottom was a bit comfortable, and he did not run a very good race in Leopardstown. Possibly he needs higher floor now.

He scored 164, the identical rating he received his final handicap two years in the past at Cheltenham.
He went to Wincanton and labored this morning and did not notably just like the comfortable flooring, so we’ll simply keep watch over what the bottom does.
If it is comfortable on the primary day in Cheltenham, I am going to await Sandown I suppose, and even consider Aintree if the bottom is nice.

Went to Wincanton this morning (Thursday) and it labored out superbly. I might say it is simply beginning to hit the precise.
Knappers Hill
Martin’s Conditional Pipe Hitch for the Knights
He scores mark on 135, however will wrestle to get in.

Boodles hurdles for occasions
He has overcome limitations and Flat in Eire. He went to Wincanton, ran properly however I did not run with him so I do not know a lot about him.
