Greaneteen ‘fit and raring to go’

PAUL NICHOLLS has an amazing record in the Tingle Creek, so his runners Greaneteen and Hitman must merit the utmost respect, even if they are not in the banker, almost unbeatable, mould of a Kauto Star or Master Minded.

Successful over course and distance when he beat Altior in last season’s Celebration Chase, Greaneteen is ridden here by Bryony Frost, back in the big-race spotlight after a traumatic week at the hearing brought by the BHA against Robbie unne on charges of prejudicial onduct and threatening behaviour. Greaneteen is expected to take a step forward from his Haldon Gold Cup fourth, where Hitman was ahead n second.

“Greaneteen likes the track,” said Nicholls. “He ran well in the Tingle Creek last year and won the Celebration Chase. He needed the run at Exeter the other day. He’s fitter and sharper and raring to go. Hitman ran well at Exeter, although he didn’t do a lot in front from the back of the last. He’s got a bit to find on ratings.”
