Joe Tizzard: “I’m expecting big runs from Theatre Guide and Cyrus Darius.”

We will be heading into the Topham at Aintree where he won well last year. He has a few entries at Cheltenham but if he goes well here, I don’t think he will be heading to the Festival.

3.10 – Cyrus Darius

Hopefully we have found the key with this horse as this is the best we have had him this season. He is in good form and he does have Cheltenham entries. Hopefully he will run a big race here.

3.45 – Unsafe Conduct

This horse has been too keen for his own good. We are just hoping he will relax and settle. This looks very competitive but hopefully in the summer he will win again.

4.15 – Molineaux and Slate House              

Slate House wasn’t quite right on his last race so you can put a line through that run. We have by no means written him off. He is a Grade Two winner at Cheltenham. He is better than this and he is just starting to come in his coat. If he is to run in the Arkle, he needs to win here.

Molineaux has Cheltenham entries but also needs to win as he is currently rated 132. He is a consistent horse who always runs his race.

4.50 – Faustinovick

We have been really patient with this horse. He was second to Andy Dufresne which won a nice bumper in Ireland. 

He is a nice horse who a big future. We are looking forward to running him. Nicky Henderson has Chantry House in the race which looks to be the one to beat. Next year as a novice hurdler will be where our horse will shine.
