Dulcote likely to miss rescheduled Hennessy

Pride Of Dulcote, ante-post favourite for today's cancelled Hennessy Gold Cup, is likely to miss the rescheduled race next Saturday.

His trainer Paul Nicholls later stated on Twitter.com that Pride Of Dulcote was likely to miss the rescheduled race. He said: "Pride of Dulcote likely to go for Grade One Betfair Chase at Ascot on February 19."

Nicholls has used the Grade 1 Ascot Chase in the build up to the festival in the past, with Kauto Star taking the race en route to Cheltenham in 2008.
