If Albert can put up a good display here I wouldn’t be concerned with him staying the mile on this ground over 7f. See what he’s got don’t expect an awful lot as is ‘asleep’ but will see 💜

I’ve had a little play on montassib in this at Donny flat is backkk

We have very sadly lost the battle to overcome Sir Gino’s ailment and he has had to be put to sleep at the veterinary hospital this morning. He has been fighting from severe deep-seated infections that he had overcome last year prior to his brilliant return in the Christmas Hurdle but this time it had spread too far although his fractured pelvis was healing well. He was not only brilliant but one of the nicest kindest horses you could ever wish to see and this leaves an awful hole in Seven Barrows this morning and a very sad day for Joe & Marie Donnelly. They have had some wonderful horses over the years and they both care so much for them so losing such a young star with his life in front of him is particularly cruel. Sir Gino was unbeaten in all his 7 starts including 3 Grade 1’s over hurdles and an amazing display in a Grade 2 Chase on his one and only start over fences. We would have to say that he was just at least as good as any of all the amazing horses we have been lucky enough to have trained. Unforgettable in every way.

Be interesting to see this AOB debutant drop dead gorgeous I’ve had a small bet at 1/1. Nice pedigree could be a nice one this.

Opener at Newbury is interesting I think the favourites form isn’t the best albeit a grade 2 but I’m not sure on that form I’ll play Cecilia Star 7/2 with the weight being given I give a good chance
