“If I can get Mighty Bandit to Wetherby, it looks a nice little race for him,” said Greatrex. “A lot depends obviously on the weather, but he came out of his Newbury win well and all being well he will run. “He’s had three fairly quick runs and all roads lead back to Cheltenham,” continued Greatrex. “But he will also have an entry in the Kim Muir and we’ll have to see nearer the time, but Finian Maguire rode him first time this season and that could be possible. “I think we can go straight there, he’s had three good runs and we can give him a nice bit of time off now knowing he goes well fresh.”
