Racing Post: El Fabiolo team nix double travel possibility if weather causes Clarence House rescheduling

Connections of the Willie Mullins-trained star have expressed their concerns about the horse making the journey by ferry twice in a week if the race is rescheduled for Cheltenham on January 27. They would prefer to avoid this scenario.

On the other hand, Anthony Bromley, racing manager to El Fabiolo’s owners Simon Munir and Isaac Souede, stated that they would not be interested in such a change of plans.

It is important to note that there were no jump racing events on Thursday after both Fairyhouse and Ludlow failed inspections. Additionally, Lingfield’s Winter Million Friday fixture was canceled.

In other news, the chief executive of 888 has acknowledged that the company’s financial performance needs to improve, as the owner of William Hill revealed a fall in revenue.

Finally, there are fancies for the four novice chases at Cheltenham, with one race being considered as an excellent opportunity for a festival win.
