....has runout at Wincanton tomorrow over hurdles . He came back from Mussleburgh on New Years Day with a nasty injury and tomorrow will be all about getting his confidence up . A nice round of jumping is the priority - DP feels he's best on better ground so a spring campaign is his target .
The weights come out this Thursday for the big handicap races at The Festival . Geoffrey is in three of them - plus two GR1's - so it'll be interesting what the Pipes ( say that cos Martin still takes a keen interest ) views are . I'm all for the Albert Bartlett - the gr 1 over 3m on Gold Cup day - but there is a Mullins 'hot shot' in that one . I recon they'll plumb for a handicap .
George goes for a scan - I think it's towards the end of the week - and if his ulcers have responded to the course of antibiotics then we plan for him to have a racecourse gallop - Wincanton next Thursday looks ideal . Can't help thinking we should miss Cheltenham and - if anything - aim to get him to Aintree .
To get early prices make sure you're reading 'la blog'!

Hope scans etc go well.
Both the greys look great Rog, look forward to seeing them show their real form where it matters (and fund the next purchase!?).
