Ayr Spin For Garden

Monet's Garden will continue his preparation for the Stan James King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day with a racecourse gallop after racing at Ayr on Wednesday.

Nicky Richards' eight-year-old, runner-up to Voy Por Ustedes in the Arkle, reappeared at Carlisle in October with victory over smart French chaser Mid Dancer and Hennessy Gold Cup fourth Omni Cosmo Touch.

Ayr clerk of the course Katherine Self said : 'Nicky contacted me over the weekend to ask permission to give Monet's Garden a racecourse gallop after racing and I was happy to say yes to his request.

'It's a real bonus for those attending on Wednesday as its not everyday you can watch seven decent races and then see a top chaser having a gallop.'
