Harry ready for World

Robin Dickin is indebted to Long Run's owner Robert Waley-Cohen for for allowing him to use his gallops in Restless Harry's preparation for the Ladbrokes World Hurdle.

Instead of giving his Cheltenham hope a racecourse spin on testing winter ground, the Stratford trainer has taken his stable star to Waley-Cohen's gallops for some vital work which Dickin believes is paying off.

"He's very well. He worked on Tuesday morning and worked very nicely," said Dickin.

"I haven't done a racecourse workout with him because the ground has been so appalling on every racecourse in the country. I didn't see the point.

"Very kindly, Robert Waley-Cohen lets me use his gallops and they are just absolutely fantastic and I've left space for him to another piece there next week. He will go for the World Hurdle."

Restless Harry, who was third to Grands Crus in the Cleeve Hurdle on his latest start, is a 33-1 shot for glory in the three-mile staying hurdle championship race on March 17.
