Tidal Bay News Tidal Bay remains on target for the Letheby & Christopher Chase at Cheltenham on January 24. Howard Johnson stepped last year's Arkle Trophy hero up to three miles for the skybet.com Rowland Meyrick Chase at Wetherby on Boxing Day and will persist in going over staying distances - for now. "He's fine, he's having a fortnight to three week's off. To be honest he hasn't even had a saddle on since the Rowland Meyrick," the trainer told sportinglife.com. "We are just freshening him up and then we'll start with him again when this weather breaks. He's probably going to the race at Cheltenham at the end of January." The eight-year-old will be given three entries at the Cheltenham Festival in March - including one in the World Hurdle. "All must be well but he will be entered in the Gold Cup, the Ryanair and the hurdle race as well," Johnson confirmed.
