Trabolgan Gold Decision By Christmas Nicky Henderson has issued an upbeat bulletin on Trabolgan´s chances of making the line-up for the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup. The Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup winner has been on the easy list after a scan revealed a slight problem with a tendon, ruling out a crack at the Stan James King George VI Chase on Boxing Day. 'Trabolgan is being ridden and trotted. He feels good, actually,' said Henderson. 'It won´t make any difference to the King George, but we will have a look at a scan next week and make a definite decision as to what we do by Christmas. 'I can´t let it go on, eating into anything next year, but my head man, Corky Browne, who has bet me he´ll get to the Gold Cup, is quietly working away on him and he´s optimistic. 'If we were allowed to crack on, I would still be hopeful of getting to Cheltenham and he´s an easy horse to get fit, but we will have a definite decision by Christmas one way or the other.'?
