Lacdoudal to represent Hobbs

Lacdoudal is likely to be Philip Hobbs’ sole representative in the Robin Cook Memorial Trophy at Cheltenham on Saturday.

Made In Japan, who finished eighth behind Contraband in this year’s Arkle, is also entered for the two-mile-five-furlong chase but the Minehead handler is instead leaning towards running the five-year-old in the Jenny Mould Memorial Handicap Chase earlier on the card.
