Solzen to stay with King

Alan King has had a change of heart with My Way De Solzen, who will remain in his care after he has a breathing operation.

The former Ladbrokes World Hurdle and Arkle Trophy winner now looks a shadow of his former self and was pulled up on his return to the track in last week's Peterborough Chase.

At a loss to explain his fall from grace, King felt his only option would be to advise the gelding's owners to give him a change of scenery at another stable.

But King revealed today: "I have some very obscure people ringing me up about him but there has been a little change of plan.

"Paul Nicholls said to me 'get the horse a wind operation', so that's what we are doing.

"I'd like to think we could get him back for March if all goes well."
