I think for a horse that has never known anything but galloping tracks with nice long straights, it would all end up happening a little too quickly for him on a course like Chester where you are on the turn for most of the races, even if they could produce the exact ground Nicky is looking for (whatever that is).
York has an almost 5F long home straight much like Newbury whilst Newcastle (Northumberland Plate maybe???) has a 4F straight and even Southwell and Kempton (on their 12F course) has a 3F straight, Ascot has just about a 2½F long home straight which you would have to be careful about not getting too far back on him if you were thinking of running him in something like the 12F Cumberland Lodge or the 16F Long Distance Cup on Champions Day.
I did just remember that at the Guineas Meeting you have the G2 Jockey Club Stakes over 12F which in three of the last four years has been run on good ground and won by a 110, 104 (by the 9yr old Outbox) and 106 rated horses respectively………..if they actually got good ground again this season, would that be actually good enough for Hendo?
