Electric heads straight to Cheltenham Festival
Time Electric will not run again before tackling the Weatherbys Chmapion Bumper at next month’s Cheltenham Festival.
The six-year-old was an impressive winner on his racecourse bow at Leopardstown, skating home by eight lengths from Santo Stefano last December.
Trainer Thomas Mullins had considered giving Time Electric a prep run before the Festival but he has now decided against another outing.
“I gave him a bit of a break a few weeks after Leopardstown and he did so well,” he told At The Races.
“He did so well with a bit of a break that we decided we wouldn’t take a chance with him.
“He’ll go straight to Cheltenham and it should be great. He’s a fair tool of the horse.”
Time Electric is the general 6-1 favourite for the Cheltenham Grade One event.
