Horse Racing: Latalomne heads for Cheltenham Festival
Brian Ellison's Latalomne is still on course for a crack at the Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.
Latalomne won in good style at Cheltenham in November before finishing fifth behind Flagship Uberalles in the Mitsubishi Shogun Tingle Creek Trophy at Sandown.
"I gave him December off but he has come back looking a million dollars and is cantering again," revealed Ellison.
"We won't run him before Cheltenham and we are just hoping for some fast ground there.
"If he gets it as he likes it, I think he will go with an each-way chance, but if we have to give it a miss if it turns up too soft, we have always got Aintree and Punchestown to think about."
