I would be a little surprised if GW runs – he has run some absolute shockers at the track over the years (1 from 4).
Mullins horses have been a little slower to come to hand this season (needing their first runs) but many have run at this meeting over the years and have gone on to victory at Cheltenham, so I don’t see it as a negative him running a lot of his Cheltenham horses here although clearly Kopek Des Bordes it would appear is not ready and goes straight to Cheltenham instead.
Seperately, given that Rebecca Curtis has said that Haiti Couleurs is not the best traveller and it would involve a 13 hour horsebox trip just to get to Holyhead (as they are not taking horse where that are) to then travel to Ireland, she has made the right decision not to go….good news for Newbury if he does turn up for the Denman though.
