Headgear will be on at Aintree for Clan Des Obeaux
Nicholls to decide between cheekpieces and blinkers in Betway Bowl.
Clan Des Obeaux is set to be fitted with headgear for the first time in the Betway Bowl at Aintree. The dual King George VI Chase hero has finished third and second in the last two runnings of next week’s Grade One contest – and will return to Merseyside in a bid to make it third time lucky on Thursday week. With connections deciding against a third tilt at the Cheltenham Gold Cup, Clan Des Obeaux will be making his first appearance since failing to reel in stablemate Secret Investor in last month’s Denman Chase at Newbury. Trainer Paul Nicholls said: “Clan Des Obeaux will run in the Betway Bowl and he is either going to run in some blinkers or cheekpieces – we will decide nearer the time.Secret Investor holds off Clan Des Obeaux to win the Betfair Denman Chase!
