Anybody know plans for Tataniano, I was thinking he may be a top challenger for the Queen Mother but no mention of him at all the past couple of months
Paul Nicholls admits Tataniano is facing a battle to be ready in time for the sportingbet.com Queen Mother Champion Chase.
A Grade One winner at Aintree as a novice, he has only been seen once this season when third at Cheltenham's Paddy Power meeting and is the stable's third string on betting for the two-mile title after Master Minded and Woolcombe Folly.
Nicholls said: "It's difficult - I'm just struggling with him. He was lame about three weeks ago and he's fine now, but I have told Andy (Stewart, owner) that it's not the end of the world if he goes to Aintree and Punchestown."
