Albertas camp ponder Roan run
The first opportunity would be in the Betfred Monet’s Garden Old Roan Chase at Aintree on October 22.
The two-and-a-half-mile limited handicap chase is named in honour of Monet’s Garden, who won it three times and is set to parade in front of the crowd beforehand.
Albertas Run came home fourth behind the gallant grey when carrying top weight last year.
Mick Meagher, racing manager to Albertas Run’s owner Trevor Hemmings, said: “Albertas Run is a possible runner in the Old Roan Chase.
“We are also looking at the Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby the week after and we will make a final decision nearer the time, but Aintree is a definite possibility.
“It was wonderful to win a second Ryanair Chase with him last season and we thought that he ran a great race behind Master Minded in the John Smith’s Melling Chase.
“He is a better horse on decent ground and I don’t see why we won’t aim him for a third Ryanair Chase this season, although he has the option of stepping back up in trip as well.’’
