DALY NOT CONFIDENT ABOUT ASPECT

Trainer Henry Daly has warned that he is not confident about Cheerful Aspect`s prospects of an emotional win in tomorrow`s Tim Forster Cup at Wincanton.

The eight-year-old will be making his seasonal debut in the contest and the trainer expects him to need the outing.

The Showcase handicap is being run in honour of the three-time Grand National-winning trainer to whom Daly was assistant for eight years.

Daly took over the reins at Downton Hall Stables following Forster`s death in 1999.

High In The Clouds had been expected to represent Daly but the trainer said today: 'The ground will be too soft for him.

'Cheerful Aspect will need the run - he always does.

'It just seemed like the obvious race to run him in, we`ve got to run him somewhere.'

A total of 12 horses have been declared for the race including Rightsaidfred, a course and distance winner last time, and Martell Grand National fourth Brave Highlander.
