Dont think Hendo wants to win the trainers championship as much as Nicholls and will be wary of taking in too many festivals after his Sprinter Sacre troubles but ....
A personal view is that the BHA miss a trick by not having early entry for these races so there is more continuity of interest between Cheltenham and Aintree. There isnt an antepost market anywhere.
"Cyrname will definitely run again and he worked this morning. We've got to make a plan for him, but he could go to Aintree for the Melling if Politologue maybe didn't go, or he could take on Altior over two miles in the Celebration Chase at Sandown if we wanted to," Nicholls added on Saturday.
"There are lots of plans in the air without anything being set in stone. We've lots to run though and Christopher Wood and Southfield Stone will run in Grade 1s at Aintree after being left out of Cheltenham. It's a nice position to be in from being the underdog, I suppose."
Politologue's two options are Aintree or Sandown, but he won at Aintree last year and the Melling Chase would be a nice race to go for. I was so proud of him in the Champion Chase. He ran a career-best without a shadow of a doubt. We changed tactics and did a few different things, which I thought worked, so we were thrilled.
"Frodon could run in the Melling with Politologue, but he's won four races this season and run five times, so he might not run again. He's fine and cantered this morning; he always comes out squealing and fresh and well, but he puts a lot into his races."
Backed cyrname for this with pp 15-1 ltd stakes but may run here and odds way too big.
Likely non runner I imagine but article today is encouraging and if Altior runs they may run this fella and let politilogue go to Sandown or punches
