16:10 - Lombron

There is no National Hunt racing in Ireland this weekend, the weekend before the Punchestown Festival, so I am off to Sandown to ride Lombron for Willie Mullins in the Bet365 Gold Cup.  It's great to be on the team, and Lombron goes there with his chance.

He ran really well at Naas on his chasing debut in December to finish fourth behind the Brown Advisory Chase winner Lecky Watson, and, after finishing second behind Harry Des Ongrais at Gowran in February, he kept on well to win his beginners' chase at Clonmel last time.

This is a significant step up in trip for him, but I hope that he will stay, and he gets into the race on a lovely light weight. I'm looking forward to riding him.
