'He couldn't be in a better place'
Thousand Tears is a poor favourite in the Greatwood. The trainer Paul Byrne had a 35 per cent strike-rate over jumps in Britain in last five seasons. Willie Mullins is responsible for second favourite Dads Lad. Gin Coco is worth considering at double-figure odds. Nina The Terrier is rated 131. She reopposes the well-fancied Sonigino. The novice Ginoco is blessed with a decent turn of foot. Harry Fry earmarked the Supreme Trial as her target. He also mentioned Nina the Terriers as a target earlier in week. They both lost to Soni at Chepstow two starts back.
The Shunter won the 2020 Greatwood Hurdle for Emmet Mullins and Paul Byrne. The horse is in good form but the trainer is not satisfied with his current form. Thousand Tears is expected to improve on his last outing. He finished ninth in a Flat maiden at Galway in July on Mullin's debut. He was a 12-1 shot at the start of the week.
'He couldn't be in a better place' - Nigel Twiston-Davies. 'He ran very well in the Betfair Hurdle and he's won twice at the track' Patrick Neville, trainer of N'golo, is in good form. Alan King, Trainer of Harbour Lake and Nina The Terrier, won well at Market Rasen last month. Paul Nicholls, the trainer, gave Sonigino a 10lb rise for his last win. Harry Fry, Gin Coco's trainer decided to let him take his chance in Greatwood. Liam Cullinan, manager of Whitegrass Racing Syndicate, owners of Dads Lad, hopes his horse will run a big race.
