Pauling soon discovered The Jukebox Man was not only suffering a minor breathing issue but had also pulled muscles, but he is hopeful he could yet have one more run this season in Ireland. “As has been well publicised he came out of Cheltenham very, very sore in his left shoulder and pulled a lot of muscles,” Pauling told Racing TV. “He came sound last week, we took him down to Ben Brain’s and there wasn’t an awful lot to see, but he did flip it at Cheltenham so we have tightened his soft palate. “He was out this morning moving as well as he ever has again, so that was really promising and I’d love to go to Ireland with him. “He’s got a very progressive profile and he’s slightly better right-handed.
