KING WARY OF NEWBURY FOR GRUMETI

Quote:
Alan King admits next month's Betfair Hurdle at Newbury would not be an ideal starting point for Champion Hurdle contender Grumeti.
The five-year-old was among the top rank in the juvenile division last term, finishing third in the Triumph Hurdle before reversing form with Countrywide Flame when winning the Aintree equivalent. He subsquently ran twice on the level, winning at Ascot before being narrowly beaten at Goodwood in May.
However, Grumeti has been off the track since that outing and King has identified the Newbury feature on February 9 as a possible starting point if his hand is forced.
