Hoping the Queen will launch the new year with another Dipper triumph

I'm hoping to hit the ground running with one of my stars in 2022 as I'm keen to run The Glancing Queen over the New Year's day weekend.

She is in the Dipper Paddy Power Novices' Chase at Cheltenham, which is her intended target and a race I've won with Yanworth and Messire Des Obeaux (after it was switched to Wincanton) in the last four years.

But she's also entered just in case in Sunday's novice chase at Plumpton, where success would qualify her for the £50,000 bonus if she goes on to win at the Cheltenham Festival.
