Cyrname ready to roll for King George and Gold Cup campaign

Nicholls hopes he has Kempton challenger ‘really right this time’.
Paul Nicholls believes Cyrname can develop into a prime contender for next year’s Magners Cheltenham Gold Cup. The Ditcheat trainer plans to work back from March, with the Ladbrokes King George VI Chase next on Cyrname’s agenda – after he finished second at Kempton 12 months ago, well behind stablemate Clan Des Obeaux. Cyrname silenced his doubters on his return this season, proving he can stay three miles and race left-handed with an impressive victory under a penalty in the Grade Two Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby.Cyrname puts in an impressive round of jumping to land a comfortable victory in the @bet365 Charlie Hall Chase for @PFNicholls

Nicholls said: “Cyrname will be a different horse going into the race (King George) this year (to what) he was last year. “He will almost certainly go down the Gold Cup route after that. “He has had three quiet weeks, but he has cantered every day. He looks great. I couldn’t be happier with him. “
