Cheltenham return on Harry agenda

Restless Harry could be prepared for a return to Cheltenham next month after suffering a final flight fall in Friday’s Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle.

Robin Dickin’s pride and joy went into the Grade One contest with leading claims having scored at the track in January but having made much of the running, he was tiring into third when coming to grief.

Dickin is delighted to report the six-year-old is none the worse and a return to Prestbury Park is his most likely next step.

“He’s a little bit tired, but he’s absolutely fine,” said the Stratford handler.

“He’s free in his action and is nice and sound, so thank goodness he’s OK.

“We didn’t get the money, but we have got a beautiful horse – he proved that on on the day.

“I haven’t discussed it with his owner, but I half an idea, weather permitting, he’ll probably go to Cheltenham for the April meeting – rather than go to Aintree.”
