    Nicholls thinks Stage Star needs to go left handed, mentioned the Denman chase and alluded to prioritizing Aintree by skipping the Ryanair which seems odd.

    That’s news to me ep1987 as in his post race interview he said Ryanair was the aim.

    Nicholls: “He can only go left-handed,” said Nicholls. “If he didn’t turn up until the Ryanair it wouldn’t be the end of the world, but I’m sure we’ll find something for him. I haven’t really thought about it yet. I wouldn’t be afraid to go three miles with him either, something like the Denman Chase at Newbury maybe. I’m not sure he wants to go three and a quarter miles yet as he has plenty of speed. Finding the right race left-handed is the key.”

    Doesn’t strike me as a horse looking to go 3m but then again his half brother won over 3m1F so :unsure: – the left handed thing limits his option somewhat but maybe they will be looking at the Betway Bowl this season, whilst the Betfair Chase, Savills Chase and Irish Gold Cup next year are other possibles as well?

    Misread ‘until’ as ‘in’ so it seems as though the Ryanair will be the next big target which makes a lot more sense.
