Odyssey has options

Evan Williams will let the ground dictate which race the exciting King's Odyssey runs in at the Cheltenham Festival.

Winner of two of his three outings over fences, including last time out in the Timeform Novices' Handicap on Trials Day which has proved a rich source of winners in recent years, he has two options at the meeting.

Williams has entered him in the Grade One JLT Novices' Chase and also the Brown & Merriebelle Stable Plate

"He's in the JLT, but I've also entered him in the Plate," said Williams.

"It will be purely down to the ground which race he runs in, as he likes a bit of dig.

"I wouldn't be afraid of taking anything on in the Grade One if it was soft ground, he was very impressive the last time at Cheltenham.

"We'll just have to wait and see."
