Options Open For Thyne

Liam Burke has yet to commit Thyne Again to the Cheltenham Festival and may give his charge an outing at Navan in the interim.

Thyne Again provided the trainer and successful bloodstock agent with a career highlight in Sunday's Baileys Arkle Perpetual Challenge Cup and holds entries in both the Cheltenham equivalent and the Royal & SunAlliance Chase.

However, Burke has also mentioned the Powers Gold Cup at Fairyhouse as a spring option.

'I'm undecided,' said Burke.

'He was very impressive on Sunday and I was delighted. He's in at Leopardstown a week on Sunday over two miles five (Dr P J Moriarty Novice Chase) but that will probably be too soon and we might go to Navan a week later. After that, we'll see.'
