    Slick as you like. Popped her hurdles economically and looked to have plenty under the bonnet. Impressed.

    Harry Derhams story of cyrname actually catching a pigeon on the gallops was entertaining

    Let's hope this clash materialises
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    From Twitter

    I’ve had a discussion with the Pughs regarding Altior and he will be entered in the G2 Silviniaco Conti Chase over 2m4f at Ascot on Saturday with the intention very much to run. Nico was happy with his work yesterday and he’ll school in the week.

    They had to make sure all those involved were on Top Notch at decent prices before they made it public

    The BHA are clearly annoyed with Sir Nicky. They don't even refer to him by his new title in their press release today.

    They say they are sending a vet to examine Altior tomorrow. I wonder why?

    I think they want him to give up his association with Unibet, and rightly so.

    Nicky Henderson is my favourite trainer, if I have one, but he isn't always clear in his communication to the betting public.

    I assume someone inside the yard is letting the side down.
