One more run before Cheltenham for Finian

Barry Geraghty hopes Finian's Rainbow has one more run over fences before the Cheltenham Festival.

Nicky Henderson's charge is two from two over fences and is disputing favouritism for the Irish Independent Arkle Trophy next month.

"We thought he was very good over hurdles and were hoping he'd make the transition to fences the way he has, he's done everything right so far," the jockey told At The Races.

"The first day he won at Newbury was probably a better race than the second day. The second horse came out and franked the form by beating Medermit at Cheltenham and that reads well.

"In an ideal world you'd give him another run to get some more experience but he's a lovely horse and I'd be looking forward to him.

"He has the option of going to Warwick or Kempton for the Pendil so there are races for him and all being well he'll go for one of them."

The jockey also high hopes for Saturday winner Bobs Worth, who is favourite for the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle at the Festival.

"He was a little novicey at a couple down the back on Saturday but at the business end he really came alive and seemed to pick up well after the last. He won well and is a horse who is improving all the time," Geraghty added.
