And while A Dream To Share is reported to be back in good form, McManus’ racing manager Frank Berry has confirmed he will instead revert to the bumper route in Leopardstown’s Grade Two finale on February 3.
He said: “All being well, he’ll go for the bumper (at the Dublin Racing Festival).
“Basically he’s missed a few schooling days and a few things and with the setback it just didn’t give us a lot of time to get him jumping.
“He’s eligible for the bumper in Leopardstown and that’s the route he’s going to take, so let’s see how we get on doing this.
“He’s coming along nicely, John is happy with him. We’ll learn a bit more at the Dublin Racing Festival and see where we go from there.”
