Hemmings hopeful over Trabolgan Cup bid

Trevor Hemmings is keeping his fingers crossed that Trabolgan can make it back on the track in time for he totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup in March.

The Lancashire-based owner’s seven-year-old has been on the easy list with a tendon problem which came to light a week after his brilliant success under top weight in the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup.

“He is out trotting and will go for a scan in about two weeks,” Hemmings told Channel 4.

“The last scan showed more of a bruising so fingers crossed. Nicky Henderson was right to leave it alone and hopefully nature will put it right.”
