Lostintranslation hasn't missed a beat since Haydock says Tizzard
Joe Tizzard, assistant to Colin Tizzard, trainer of Lostintranslation and Thistlecrack
Lostintranslation is good and has come out of the Betfair Chase really well. He hasn't missed a beat, so all roads lead to Kempton and he's in very good form. Thistlecrack came out of his run at Newbury very well too and we've also stuck him in the Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot the week before, but it's something we haven't decided on. We'll discuss it in the near future, but it does look a very competitive King George and he ran a lovely race over hurdles. We were delighted with him at Newbury – you couldn't not be.
Nicky Henderson, trainer of Altior and Might Bite
Altior is bright and very well in himself from what we can see. I might let Nico [de Boinville] have a sit on him on Saturday morning if he can before he goes to Aintree. Nico knows him so well, so we'll listen to what he says and how he's come out of Ascot. That will be a bit of work for Altior, while Might Bite will go to Aintree for the Many Clouds Chase – it's an important day in his life. He's going to wear cheekpieces and is in good form; it's just about what signs he gives us.
Warren Greatrex, trainer of La Bague Au Roi
We’ll possibly have a crack at the King George if she wins at Huntingdon [on Sunday]. Obviously a lot will need to happen and it would be tough with only 18 days between the two races, but it'll be very tempting if she went and won well. We’d definitely think about it.”
