    Michael Winters

    Ml Winters is spreading his wings over the coming weeks.
    Moon Prince entered for Wincanton Thursday.
    Rebel Fitz running Cheltenham Friday.
    Missunited entered for Prix Royal Oak Oct 27.
    Wishing the hardest working hands on horse trainer in the business all the very best over the next fortnight.

    Rebel Fitz looks seriously good over fences, better than a handicapper for sure.

    Need to find his trip now
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    His nervous disposition is of much greater concern. He has traveled the UK on Sunday evening for Fridays engagement. The dry run in with no racing last year had a very adverse effect on him and he may not be suited by travelling.
    2 miles 4 to 2.6 his optimum trip.2 miles most likely too sharp IMO

    Stable star runs on Friday so possibly just filling the box up.

    Hurricane Fly - whatever he runs in he wins

    They expect a win but UK handicapper has done him no favours.
    Jockey Martin Ferris a Mallow man that MW has a high opinion of: he schools a lot for him and rode China Rock in a Gold Cup ( or maybe two)

    Always preferred his brother, Bernie.

    Fair to say that this Wincanton affair wasn't the original plan

    The off course bookmakers might not allow him drift too much. Plenty of EP cash for him.

    I know he is well fancied the extra 7lb being the only slight concern

    Thanks. That is good news. If he gives weight and a beating to Third Intention than they have a problem on their hands! Where next!
