A transition is being plotted by tom George into novice pursuing for 2 of the stars that are stable.
Black Op, winner of this 2018 Mersey Novices Hurdle set out on a chasing campaign last season, but reverted back to the obstacles that were smaller after only two defeated efforts.
The eight-year-old completed a creditable third on his debut over fences at Exeter and followed up with another third-placed complete in the Grade 2 Dipper Novices Chase at Cheltenham.
He then spent the rest of the season tackling hurdles, finishing fourth and third at the Cleeve and then Select Hurdles – in addition to a 12th-place end from the Stayers Hurdle.
George now intends to revisit his original strategy, confirming that this fall, Black Op will go back to run across fences.
He is good, hes in shape, George stated.
He has been coaching nicely and he is not far away a jog. There is a strong chance he will run at (owner) Roger Brookhouses area class, which is Stratford, at a two-and-a-half-mile novice chase.
Hell definitely be going over fences, he added.
Things went a bit last year – the ground was too company and we could not get him out. So we are starting from scratch again this season and we are going to discover a low-key race.
Hes been schooling using Henrietta Knight and everybody is extremely happy with him.
Brookhouse is a key proprietor for George, together using 2018 Supreme Novices Hurdle winner Summerville Boy in his care.
The seven-year-old has not registered a success because Cheltenham performance, this past year, struggling in a handful of Graded races.
In which he was behind the Buveur dAir of Nicky Henderson at the Punchestown Champion Hurdle his period ended at Punchestown.
Everything went wrong last year actually, said the Slad-based trainer.
He was just beaten six seasons from Buveur DAir at Punchestown, however.
Hes been teaching over fences and certainly will go newcomer chasing.
Hes near enough ready, he has always jumped a fence better than he jumps a hurdle because he has more respect for them. Hell go to get a two-mile novice chase.
