    • Chasing option for Sir Gino


      And Henderson has not ruled out the possibility of switching fellow Grade One scorer Sir Gino over to fences after there was money for the four year old for the Arkle earlier this week.

      Henderson added: “Everybody told me that there had been money for Sir Gino going over fences, but I haven’t ruled it in and I haven’t ruled it out.

      “We have just got to see how everything pans out. Don’t forget Joe (Donnelly, owner) owns State Man as well. We are keeping all the balls in the air.”

      • Shame 5 year olds don’t get the same weight for age as the use to. Would add a lot of spice to the race if Gino and ballyburn rocked up in arkle with Gino getting 8lb. We all talk about how hard it is as a 5 y/o but then don’t give them the support they need.

          I thought it depended on how Constitution Hill was regardless of State Man? Was Nicky out with Guinness Village last night?

            That would be something, a night out with GV and Hendo, I’d pay money for that

            • Has there been any word for Chigorin for Henry De Bromhead?

              No mention in the Attheraces stable tour, but is a big price for the BANC at 66/1.

                Not seen anything myself. Wonder how easy he is to keep sound, as had a fair break before returning in the Bartlett with a well below par run, then not seen again.

                If anything I'd see him as a handicapper. Henry surely has better options.

                • I'm expecting Inthepocket to win well today, hardly inspiring stuff, given he's now a 4/7 shot, but after that I'm then expecting him to be beat on the way to the festival before dotting up, A Plus Tard style, in the 2m4f novices handicap chase.

                  • I was in two minds as to whether to add Inthepocket before the race, but I'm glad I did now. That was really impressive for me and I love how quick he gets his legs down after his fences. Proper 2 miler I reckon although he probably didn't beat much with Farren probably unfit

                      ….into 10-1 in most places for Arkle.

                        Good performance indeed and jumped very well. Certainly looks quick enough for 2m so I don't think he'll be up in trip unless comprehensively beaten up in grade.

                        • Pulled the trigger a few times in play with Sky keeping market open, happy enough with that. But long way to go, hopefully not to premature and gitty as can easily get carried away in a silly race this time year, I liked how he hit the line hard and was slick though. Henry does like an arkle runner!

                          • Our first poss festival winner performance of new season? Very happy with that …..hope he stays sound

                            Might be worth a little double with Slade Steel for 3m ?

                              I think we need to wait a while before asking that question
