must be right now that Fingal Bay is out although it probably only makes the Neptune slightly less difficult to win because it is bound to be much tougher than we all think
whatever he does he will make a smashing chaser |

Just confirmed he runs in the Neptune by Henderson.

Ridiculously stupid decision. Iook forward to it shaping like a blatant non sayer

Cant see him coming off the bridle till at least approaching the last. A weaker division and the ground maybe a bit quicker for this race than the supreme come race time. If Boston Bob doesnt run in Neptune it makes this race very winnable. Correct decision imo. Nicky and Barry obviously think he will stay well so thats good enough for me. Lump job.

He's a big chasing type who doesn't jump hurdles particularly quickly. Not a great trait in a 2 mile hurdler. I think he is in the right race. He stayed very well at Sandown if you take Fingal Bay out of the race.

Time to back him for the Supreme then.

Naughty!

He clearly (well at least to me anyways) appeared not to see out the distance at Sandown over a furlong shorter
 !Supreme winners have stamina and speed to which Simonsig has both! How connections can think the Neptune is the race for him is beyond me! Utterly ridiculous, biblical place lay if the race he runs is the Neptune! Queue abuse................ |

Nicky Henderson has opted to run his exciting novice Simonsig in the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.
Winner of two of his three starts for Henderson and second to Fingal Bay at Sandown, the six-year-old was last seen cruising to victory in the Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso. He holds an engagement in the two-mile William Hill Supreme Novices' Hurdle, but will instead tackle the two-mile-five-furlong contest on March 14. Henderson said: "He's going to go two-five, Barry (Geraghty) schooled him the other day and he's still a bit of a baby, so it might suit him better." |
