Saludos should relish the return to two miles

I HAVE had some very enjoyable trips to England with my horses over the years and Sandown has been especially kind, with Moscow Flyer doing the business in the Tingle Creek Chase two years in a row.

Yesterday wasn’t a day to remember however. Bostons Angel is going to need a pair of blinkers in the future. He jumped alright but was never travelling. He just wasn’t killing himself and it was a very hard race for Robert in the saddle to try to get him interested. In a strange way, he did well to get within six and a half lengths of the winner.

He was a bit like that over hurdles and won with blinkers on over flights so, hopefully, they will do the job again next time out, which will be at Leopardstown over Christmas in the Lexus.
