Simonsig should have little trouble on Saturday
Simonsig will start a short-priced favourite in the Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree on Saturday....
Barry Geraghty partnered the Nicky Henderson-trained Simonsig to a smooth victory in the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham to make it three wins and a second from four efforts and will again be in the saddle on Saturday.
"I'm mad about him. He's fairly exciting. He could have run over two miles at Cheltenham but I always felt that two-five would help his jumping a little," Geraghty told At The Races.
"He'll have no problem coming back to two miles over fences, he'll have more respect for them.
"He'll be a better chaser than a hurdler I'd imagine which would make him very exciting.
"I'm looking forward to this race with him but I'm definitely looking forward to next year."
