I can't see Mark Pitman's stable star getting beat, in what promises to be a one horse affair.

Monsignor has apparently broken both legs, but Pitman says of his stable star 'It's just a minor setback. As far as we're concerned, he will run in plaster casts if needs be. He is a serious race horse who the public deserve to see line up in the Champion Hurdle - we are hopeful as always'. Pitman's mother Jenny added 'He is a beautiful animal with endless potential - I am sure he will turn up come March and can win under Grand National winning jockey John White'.
