Twas the Sunday before Cheltenham, and with the best horses wrapped up in cotton wool ahead of their possible date with destiny – and we have a pair of cards from Warwick and Carlisle to work with.
They actually aren’t as bad as I was originally fearing, and after a touch of soul searching and a few phone calls, I have our three for the Sabbath.
Its no secret I am a big fan of the Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore team (one of my first interviews was with Peter Scudamore many many years ago and I will never forget how helpful he was), and they could have a useful sort on their hands with the once raced bumper winner Majordomo who caught the eye with a staying on success at Newcastle over a furlong shorter.
Immediately sent over hurdles by connections that suggests to me they think he has a bright future and in a small but talented field, it will be more than interesting to see how he gets on.
