Loosen My load set for Paddy Power Chase

Trainer Henry De Bromhead is targeting Saturday’s Paddy Power Gold Cup with his Loosen My Load, but is hoping for good ground for his gelding.

De Bromhead said "Simon Claisse (clerk of the course) tells me we could be looking at ground no softer than good and I think good ground is the key to this horse.”

“We saw that first time out this season at Navan that he loves real good ground. I was probably trying to be a bit cute after that at Limerick. It was a Grade Three with only three or four runners and I took a chance. But the ground was soft there and the winner (West With The Wind) was better at the two miles.

“We managed to win our first big race there with Sizing Europe and I’ve entered five over there. Loosen My Load is almost definite to run. Absolutlyfantastic is in a Grade Two on Friday and Fort George is in the cross-country."
