PICK CONFIRMS IRISH OPTION 2/2
Alderbrook, left kicking his heels
again becausj of unsuitably fast going
at Kempton, will now be prepared for
njxt month's Irish Champion Hurdle.
Ownjr Ernie Pick said: "I am not
concerned that he hasn't had a run but
I am upset when you get so close and
then can't run.
"All being well he will go to Ireland
and he might have a little race in
between that and the Champion Hurdle."
Alderbrook is 3/1 favourite to repjat
his 1995 win in the Cheltenham event.
