As you may have already read elsewhere, I've had to cancel my Cheltenham media day this week due to this. In these circumstances we do not feel it is appropriate to invite the media on Wednesday; I'm sure everyone understands my horses and owners must come first at this stage.

No wonder the team didn't fare too well on Saturday. At least Neptune & Celestial rallied and kept the flag flying. The timing of this couldn't be worse for Ditcheat. Our thoughts, goodwill and best wishes to Paul & the team as they try to sort this out.
