Sycamore had a few niggles following his last run at Nottingham, nothing serious, just some mild intermittent lameness.

We gave him a proper break for a couple of weeks in order for it to clear up. He’s 100% sound again now, and back in full work.

We’ll step up the intensity of the work this week, and if all goes well, he should be back on track in the next two to three weeks. Although his last run didn’t go to plan, the win before that showed what he’s capable of, and back in that form, I still think we can get him back in the winners’ enclosure.
