He came back to form last time and has come out of that race fine so we are going there and doing the best we can and see what happens.

He's fine - he ate up last night and there is not a mark on him. He's totally sound and happy. We will just try and freshen him up now. The owner is coming down on Wednesday and we will discuss it then but the sensible thing to do seems to be give him a bit of a break then start working back towards Cheltenham.

I can't see the cause of the lameness at the moment and we won't really know until the vet has seen him but it could be something in his foot.
