GRANDOUET TO MISS KINGWELL
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Thu
Grandouet will not run in the Bathwick Tyres Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton on Saturday.
Quote:
Trainer Nicky Henderson said concerns over a setback earlier in the week had dispersed but he does not want to run on very testing ground after an interrupted preparation.
In a statement to Press Association Sport, Henderson said: "The filling in Grandouet's near fore has dispersed as we had hoped with exercise and is now negligible."
He went on: "However, in view of the likelihood of very testing conditions at Wincanton and the fact that his training for this race has obviously been interrupted, we have all decided to forego a prep race and train him at home without a run before the Champion Hurdle.
