1.30 Triumph Hurdle Grade 1
RACE TRENDS:
Main Connections Comments
Far West
"He is vying for favouritism in the Triumph Hurdle and I think he's got a very good chance. He won a very tactical affair at Ascot last time - it was fantastic to see that as well as staying and jumping, he's got a fantastic turn of foot. Ruby was thrilled. He was really impressive and sprinted away. He's been working with Zarkandar and has improved all through the winter. He's got everything - he's got speed, he jumps, and I'm really looking forward to the Triumph. We bought him as a chaser but I'd say we'll end up staying over hurdles next season and he could be really interesting." - Paul Nicholls
Our Conor
"He looks the one they all have to beat to me. What really pleased me about that last day was that it was a really good time. If we'd beaten Willie's horse (Diakali) and it was a poor time people could have said it wasn't much of a race but they can't when the time is good. That race is usually a good trial for the Triumph and we're very happy with him." - Dessie Hughes
Rolling Star
"They're obviously two nice four-year-olds and have come a long way clear so hopefully the form is reliable. It's only his second run over hurdles and first for us so it was pretty experimental. There's a couple of others still to fire but I suspect that is where he's going to have to head." - Nicky Henderson

2.40 Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle Grade 1

Utopie Des Bordes
"She is two out of two for me and won a nice Listed race at Sandown the other day over two and a half miles. We are going to up the trip to three miles because it seems she stays." - Nicky Henderson
Our Vinnie
"Our Vinnie is very genuine and tough. The Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham is the long-term aim, but obviously he would have to keep improving to go there." - Charles Byrnes
Le Bec
"Le Bec may not have the pace of Tocca Ferro, who was on his way to becoming a Champion Hurdle horse before injury intervened, but he's got his class and a very high cruising speed that he can maintain over a trip. I was delighted with his Sandown effort considering the ground was very much against him and we expect him to improve again for the step up to three miles, so the Albert Bartlett is definitely the plan. He remains in great form at home, working exceptionally well and although the ground is starting to come his way now, we've decided to send him straight there rather than give him two races in a short space of time. He's not a horse who needs the fizz taking out of him, so it isn't something I'd be unduly worried about." - Emma Lavelle
Verdict: Our Vinnie
3.20 Gold Cup Grade 1

Bobs Worth
"He’s a very easy ride. He just does as much as you ask him to do – nothing really flash – but every time you ask for a little bit of an effort, he delivers. He has the right profile (for the Gold Cup) - he’s an RSA winner and is four from four at Cheltenham. There’s every reason for Bobs Worth to be at the head of the market." - Barry Geraghty
"He has really got a bit to prove in that he has only really had one run outside novice chasing and that was in a handicap so he has got to do it against the big boys. It was a good performance in the Hennessy as it was in the RSA last year. It is a step up and I would have liked to have run him more on the way. He had one little hiccup himself and the whole winter has been the same – the ground has been desperate. His one opportunity to run came when the ground was bottomless and I am glad we did not go for that. He is a horse who is a bit more fragile than some of them and he wouldn’t want a hard race in heavy ground beforehand." - Nicky Henderson
Captain Chris
"He jumped beautifully up to then and it was just unfortunate. I think he'll go for the Gold Cup, and the better the ground the better his chance. He stayed on well in the Ryanair a year ago, and he stayed on again in the King George." - Philip Hobbs
Long Run
"His preparation is all going to plan. He was only six when he won the Cheltenham Gold Cup and then wasn’t just at his very best last season. I cannot tell you that he is completely different this year but he is in very good order. Some cheek-pieces might just sharpen him up – there is no point being proud – they are not the prettiest things in the world but if they make him go faster why not. He has regained the King George and maybe he can regain the Gold Cup.” - Nicky Henderson
Silviniaco Conti
"Kauto won this as a six-year-old and went on to win the Gold Cup in the same season, and this horse is very, very exciting. He jumps, he has speed and he stays very well. I said coming into today that if he won he would go for the Gold Cup and that is the plan. You couldn't leave him in his box on Gold Cup day after that performance. He could be really interesting, come Cheltenham. I thought he didn't get the credit he deserved at Wetherby [winning the Charlie Hall Chase]." - Paul Nicholls
Sir Des Champs
"He's a lovely big horse, he's built to carry 12 stones over three miles, which is ideally what you want in a chaser. I think the key to him is that he's so relaxed. I've never seen him at full strength or full speed, he just does what he has to do. That's just the way he is I think. - Willie Mullins
