    I'd say they will know where they are with Sprinter Sacre early enough in the season. If he shows no zest when he comes back in that will be it. just my opinion but think narrative this season will be SiredeGrugy vs Simonsig.

      Yep. Hope he is back to himself. But absolutely nothing to take out of last years two mile novices in my opinion so unless we see Sprinter or Simonsig ( and not with the choke out) back SDG could mop up everything this season too.

        SDG has his own problems


        Gary Moore will be looking for a suitable starting point to the campaign for Sire De Grugy, who is back in training after undergoing surgery to have bone chips removed from his ankles.

        The setback has put plans for last season's Champion Chase hero back about a month and, while the Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown on December 6 remains the objective before the end of 2014, it has caused the West Sussex trainer to revise plans for his stable star's return.

        Sire De Grugy will not be ready in time for races at Exeter and Chepstow in the autumn and the Shloer Chase at Cheltenham in which he was beaten last term is also deemed unlikely.

        However, the eight-year-old, who took the Tingle Creek in 2013 on the way to a glorious five-timer, incorporating the Desert Orchid Chase, Clarence House Chase, Queen Mother Champion Chase and Celebration Chase, is back in work and Moore is looking forward to the new season.

        "He's absolutely fine and back in exercise now. He's walking and trotting away and there are no problems at all," he said.

        "He had a bone scan and two high-risk areas came up in his joints which were removed. It didn't surprise me.

        "He had a month in his stable and then on the horse-walker and he's been ridden out since August 11th. It's all good.

        "It's set us back about four weeks which is no big deal but we won't be able to go to either Exeter or Chepstow now.

        "I don't want to go to Cheltenham to run in the Shloer Chase, but before he goes for the Tingle Creek I need to get a run into him.

        "Where we go I don't know. We'll decide nearer the time."

            SPRINTER SACRE and Simonsig, the two superstar chasers whose absence through injury scuppered Nicky Henderson's bid for the trainers' championship last season, are back in training and set to hit the racecourse within months.

            Having carried all before him over fences with ten straight victories and seven consecutive Grade 1s, Sprinter Sacre's serene progress at the top of the two mile chasing tree came to a juddering halt when he was pulled up at Kempton and diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat.

            Simonsig, meanwhile, developed a splint on his near-fore. However, on Monday Henderson told the Racing Post both were making good progress and outlined the duo's ambitious early season targets.

              Defy Logic out for the season. Irish two mile chaser cupboard is pretty bare.

                A couple of years ago when he came on the scene, this was a quote from Declan Phealen, irish point expert...."Come next spring he will be the horse to beat in the Cheltenham Bumper, and in time, he may be more Champion Chase material rather than a Gold Cup contender" this would be interesting if he did come back to the minimum distance this season

                        ^ A complete f**k up of a result. I think first time headgear might have been only reason to back the winner.

                          Pretty sure Ricci said CF will be stepping up in trip. Whatever route he goes needs to jump better IMO.

                            Yep OV, Ricci states it is the intention to step up in trip this season and that the horse will be ridden differently as well, IMO prob more restrained to get trip, but if things don't go well then they may come back in trip as they have hopes for Djakadam to develop into a 3m horse as well

                              I don't know that a Ruby did anything wrong on CF in the Arkle apart from not winning !

                              Lots of people I would consider shrewd have talked about Djakadam as a Gold Cup horse so see where you are coming from Paz.
