SIMONSIG NOT ENTERED

Following week there is the Henry VIII at Sandown, but he won't have wanted to pitch into a Grade 1 first time out. Running lower and lower with options each week though. There is the race on 27th December at Kempton that Sprinter Sacre won last year, but if that was on his radar I imagine it would have been as a second run, not as a debut.

there's also the same race at Donny that Sprinter won, which has a good chance of providing better ground than most places don't forget.

all good points ROGER. he said he wanted to start small with him then build him up. not saying he wont hack up werever he runs but u would always want to stick to u'r plan A. when is that race at Donny RHINESTONE?

it was Friday 9th Dec last year so assume it's Friday 7th Dec this year

if simonsig was a year younger i think he might be tempted to keep him over hurdles. he's going to be 7 in the new year which would mean he would be 8 going for the arkle if he stayed over hurdles this season. if he is as good as connections think he is then the will really want go get him novice chasing this season. only my opinion.
