I understand that Group 2 winning Dandino has been moved from James Given to Nicky Henderson to go hurdling.
Apart from the concern that he seems to need fairly quick ground to be at his best, if he takes to hurdling could be a very interesting recruit.

Any views on a main target, Supreme Novices?

would be fascinating if he has. He was a syndicate horse as a friends mum and dad had a small share. He was a lovely horse, not quite group 1 but a very polished performer. Ran very well at Newmarket

and yes you would assume supreme novices or Neptune / whatever its called now as the targets!

CLUB NEWS

We have some very exciting news regarding DANDINO , the Club’s classy Flat runner whose six wins include victories at Royal Ascot and in the Group 2 Jockey Cup Stakes, as on Tuesday, 13 September he is scheduled to move to top National Hunt trainer Nicky Henderson to be assessed ahead of a potentially very exciting campaign over hurdles. Dandino is undoubtedly one of the best prospects to make the transition from Flat racing to hurdling in recent years and it is hoped that he will develop into a leading prospect for one of the novice hurdles, or perhaps even the Champion Hurdle, at the next Cheltenham Festival.
