RECENT LAMBOURN WINNERS
First Street
Nicky HendersonThis race has been the plan since year dot and I’m pleased to say everything has gone according to plan so far. He jumps well, gallops well and is a very talented horse. He does have to carry top weight which won’t make things easy but this race is made for him.
Constitution Hill
Nicky HendersonAs has been very well publicised, this is definitely plan B after Ascot last week and it’s not ideal running him and Epatante in the same race, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles and it still fits in nicely with the Christmas Hurdle on Boxing Day. He’s fit, well, looks a million dollars and who knows what the ground will be doing in a day’s time let along two weeks if we were going to consider the Unibet International Hurdle at Cheltenham, so he’s coming here and I couldn’t be happier with his condition.
Touchy Feely
Nicky HendersonShe was placed in all her bumpers and I think two and a half miles on decent ground should suit her well.
Luccia
Nicky HendersonShe was a high class mare in bumpers last season. We are being ambitious starting in a Listed race but she has been going nicely.
