Alner: Nothing Wrong With Kingscliff Alner has again stressed there are no problems with totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup favourite Kingscliff despite rumours circulating about the nine-year-old´s well-being. The Betfair Chase winner is as low as 9-2 in places for the blue riband, but has been easy to back on the betting exchanges on a number of occasions following his disappointment in the King George VI Chase on Boxing Day. 'There is nothing wrong with the horse and there hasn´t been anything wrong since Sandown,' Alner told At The Races. 'We don´t bet at all and we aren´t interested in the betting, but somebody dreams it up and spreads a rumour and the phone never stops with people asking if he is alright. 'I don´t know where these stories come from, I only train horses and don´t start rumours. 'People say there is no smoke without fire, but that is totally untrue as there is nothing wrong with the horse.'(C) PA Sport
