Garden likely to be dropped in trip

MONET’S GARDEN is still taking it easy before being given the chance to redeem his reputation following his St Stephen’s Day failure.

Connections believe the grey was suffering from dehydration when fading dramatically out of the picture into a distant sixth behind Kauto Star in the King George VI Chase at Kempton.

They are now looking to dropping him from three miles to two miles, three furlongs for the £150,000 Commercial First Ascot Chase over on February 17.
