Calgary Bay

Henrietta Knight expects Calgary Bay to be a different proposition this season.

A smart novice hurdler, he took to fences extremely well last term and was ante-post favourite for the Arkle for much of the spring, but found things happening a bit too quickly at the Festival.

Knight said: "Calgary Bay is very well. He's very much stronger than last year. We'll look at the Hennessy Gold Cup. He's got an entry, but he's more likely to go for a handicap chase - there is one at Haydock for him in round about three weeks."

She added: "He's only six, going on seven, so he has plenty of time on his side and he looks much stronger this year."
