Sycamore has needed a little TLC following his run at Nottingham earlier in the month, so I afforded him the luxury of a few weeks off.

Sometimes as a racehorse trainer, you need to know when to press the button and when to ease off. Hopefully, he will have benefited from his short break when he returns to full training.

I’ve scheduled him in for his comeback at the end of this week. He has shown in the past that he can have a spring in his step once he has had some time off. It will not take him long at all to return to peak fitness.

There is no race target for him at the moment, but I would estimate he will be race-ready in around 3-4 weeks. It will all depend on what he shows me in the next couple of weeks.
