Looking back to last week, I was delighted by the win of Grands Crus' full brother Gevrey Chambertin (pictured above) in a hot novices' hurdle at Haydock on Friday. Displaying a really likeable attitude he fought with the eventual runner-up Corrin Wood all the way up the straight and prevailed in a photo-finish. This was a really good effort conceding 7lbs to the runner-up and he is progressing really well.
I am sure that many of you will be interested to hear how Grands Crus is following his disappointing reappearance and I can confirm that he is making pleasing progress following a wind-operation. Leading wind specialist Geoff Lane found a problem and he has since had a minor corrective procedure. He is progressing well and there is still a chance that he will make the King George at Kempton on Boxing Day, although we will give him all the time he needs. He is far too good a horse to risk bringing back too quickly, so we will just let him tell us when he is ready.
