Get in! Who says he was messing up her mark? He's not exactly short of experience in getting them ready for handicaps. Perhaps they wanted to see how good she was. You can rule out her first two runs in this country as she was buzzed up and didn't settle. Since they applied the ear plugs she's improved dramatically. She'll have the best flat form in the Triumph, looks all class and with the mares' allowance I think she is still good ew value at 14/1 with sportingbet. Hope you didn't smash your toys when you threw them out of the pram[>o]

Nicky Henderson has effectively ruled Punchestowns out of the Cheltenham Festival and is considering giving the chestnut a run at the racecourse which has lent him his name.
Although entered in both the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Ladbrokes World Hurdle, Henderson is looking away from those events. Punchestowns finally managed a win this season with a fairly unconvincing defeat of Pasco at Kempton last month. "I think we can say Punchestowns won't be here," said the trainer at a Cheltenham press conference on Wednesday. "I don't think he'll win a Gold Cup or a World Hurdle so we are better to stay out of it. There's Aintree and we've always said he should run at Punchestown one year. Maybe it could be this year. That would be over fences." Henderson admitted the publication of the weights for the Festival handicaps had thrown him into confusion. His Molotof is the top weight for the Fred Winter Juvenile Hurdle while A Media Luz, who was to be diverted to the Triumph Hurdle instead, has 11st 4lb. "Our plans have rather fallen out of synch, especially with the four-year-olds," he said. "What we thought was sorted a fortnight ago has now fallen out of order - some are now in and some are now out - and we need to go away and have a think." Henderson said it was "more likely than unlikely" that Riverside Theatre would contest the Ryanair Chase after a brief chat with connections this week while he has not made up his mind about a Cheltenham target for French Opera. The Game Spirit Chase winner is top weight of 11st 12lb - 6lb higher than next best Tchico Polos - in the Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Chase. However much the trainer would like to win the event commemorating his father, he is also considering the sportingbet.com Queen Mother Champion Chase. "I haven't discussed it with the owner yet," he said. "He and Mad Max are in both races. On the one hand it could help horses like Anquetta at the bottom of the weights, and I could claim off French Opera, but on the other they all have different owners." I still reckon she will end up in the FW  |
