Imperial Commander Won the betfair on his reappearance, NTD said picked up a niggly injury whiched ruled him out of King George and now heads straight to the festival. Target - Gold Cup
Diamond Harry Won Hennessy. Is best fresh so is being held until the Festival. Target - Gold Cup
Cue Card Trainer could not hide his disappointment when could only finish 2nd to Menorah in the Bula. That's it now until March Target- Supreme Novice, any talk of Champion hurdle is folly
Quevega Will not reappear until the Festival. Target - Mares Hurdle(Outside chance could be redirected to Champion Hurdle if Hurrican Fly doesn't make it)
Hmm, an enlightening thread. Btw, Hobbs, Nicholls, Pipe & Henderson each have a shocking record with horses that have been rested for 3 months before the festival. Twiston-Davies, Tizzard & J Howard Johnson can be added to that list, albeit more generally at this time of the year, not just the festival. It's worth bearing in mind before lumping on a saved-for-Cheltenham hot-pot.
It's one of the reasons why I'll be opposing Imperial Commander tomorrow.
