    Can see that being a handful-of-runners affair.

    Lawney Hill and Seamus Mullins chancing their arm it cuts up and run down the field for prize-money.

    Has Nicky a soft co*k or is something up
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Still 2.36 in Champion Chase market - hopefully just a minor setback.

    I wonder if it's the week for put-away jobs by connections...............to help pay for Stable-lads Xmas.............I'm almost tempted to take the Evs Altior, that this is moody.

    Don't like the idea of bookies bagging the rights to break this news

    The optics aren't right -if you have done your dough for Sandown reading about it on a bookies press release adds insult to injury.

    I wouldn't worry about it. You would only need to set them alight when TNO was beaten in the Xmas Hurdle.

    hendo is a pessimistic sort but him saying Altior might not get a prep run and "should" be back for march raises serious alarm bells.

    have backed Douvan at 7/2 for the queen mum on the back of this news anyhow.

    If it's just a routine wind op like they say then I don't think there is anything to be worried about.
    Bob's Worth had one after running in the Feltham , then ran in the Reynoldstown before winning the RSA.

    The best spin you can put on it, is that it's a deviation from Plan 'A', so lit's egit to have mild concerns, I reckon.......though hopefully everything gets straightened-out with him soon enough.

    Unless he is telling lies its a minor breathing op he is getting. A few weeks box rest with very little work missed.

    Sprinter had one after his Supreme and Might Bite had one before last season so heaven help the rest of the 2m brigade if helping him breathe easier improves Altior in a similar vein
    Alcohol, because no good story ever started with "I was eating this salad..."
