Trainer Nicky Henderson

Bad week: Trainer Nicky Henderson

A bad week for trainer Nicky Henderson may end happily with TASHEBA (Ascot, 2.45) in the Betfair 障害(者) 障害物.

A shock 敗北・負かす for Zaynar at Kelso on Thursday and the sidelining of fellow 支持する/優勝者 障害物 候補者 Binocular has left the Lambourn trainer looking to Punjabi at Wincanton to 支える his Cheltenham team.

There is every chance that last year's 支持する/優勝者 障害物 勝利者 could do just that, but Starluck won't be a pushover and I prefer to 味方する with Tasheba who should be a decent price with 約束ing 条件付きの rider David Bass on board.

The likes of Dee Ee Williams and Zabeel Palace look sure to give their 支持者s a good run in a typically 競争の激しい heat, but the 選択 was a 罰金 second for Bass behind Mamlook in a hot 障害(者) at the 跡をつける last time and his 記録,記録的な/記録する at today's 発生地 reads 142.

He won't 勝利,勝つ any awards for the best-handicapped horse in training, but is 井戸/弁護士席 ふさわしい by the 条件s and 明確に loves going 権利 手渡すd. Haydock is another 跡をつける that must pass an 早期に morning 査察 and ME VOICI (Haydock, nap, 1.55) has strong (人命などを)奪う,主張するs in the opener there if the 会合 receives the green light.

Trainer Nick Williams has already sold one 潜在的に smart juvenile hurdler this season in Pistolet Noir and I wonder if that was because he thought he had a better one in his stable in Me Voici, who won his 最新の start.

The 巨大(な) French bred ploughed through 深い ground to 解除する the Grade One Finale 障害物 at Chepstow three days after Christmas, (警官の)巡回区域,受持ち区域ing the 高度に-touted Sang Bleu by an 平易な 10 lengths and he looks to have 負担s of 範囲 to 改善する again.

PAUSE AND CLAUSE (Haydock, nb, 2.30) 形態/調整d with a lot of 約束 on his seasonal 屈服する behind Diamond Harry over today's course and distance and he looks to have 主要な (人命などを)奪う,主張するs in the Rendlesham 障害物.

Emma Lavelle's 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金 stuck to his 仕事 nicely at Ascot over a much shorter distance on his 最新の start and the return to a trip in 超過 of three miles appears a shrewd move by his handler.
