Lostintranslation back ‘in good nick’ for Gold Cup prep run
Tizzard star will head to either Newbury or Ascot this month.
Lostintranslation is back in full health and on course for another run before bidding again to win the Magners Cheltenham Gold Cup next month. Colin Tizzard’s nine-year-old was third in the Festival showpiece last season but has run poorly in his two appearances this term, and was found to have burst a blood vessel when pulled up in the King George VI Chase on Boxing Day. Tizzard’s son and assistant Joe reports, however, that the dual Grade One winner has recovered well and will run this month – either in Newbury’s Denman Chase or the Ascot Chase.Native River wins the Cheltenham Gold Cup, fending off Might Bite to hand Richard Johnson his second Gold Cup win@colintizzard @dickyjohnson77#TheFestival pic.twitter.com/4aCPGP81zi
