'I'm a fighter. I'll keep digging in' - Greatrex looking up after testing times

Warren Greatrex, whose fortunes have dipped in recent campaigns, insists he can get back to dining at the top table following his yard switch in the summer and will make his first move when running High Stakes in this month's MansionBet Challow Novices' Hurdle.
The trainer was based at Uplands – made famous by Fred Winter – from 2012 and sent out his first Cheltenham Festival winner from the yard when Cole Harden won the Stayers' Hurdle in 2015.
Greatrex celebrated more than 50 winners for four consecutive seasons between 2014 and 2018, and has won four Grade 1s, courtesy of Cole Harden, One Track Mind and La Bague Au Roi. He also scored at the festival with Missed Approach in 2018.
