Whatswrongwithyou all right at Newbury


A review of the rest of Saturday's meeting at Newbury as Whatswrongwithyou ran out an easy winner of the opening novices' hurdle.

Whatswrongwithyou made it two wins from as many starts at Newbury with a clear-cut success in the Read Paul Nicholls Exclusively At Betfair Novices' Hurdle.

With chief market rival Air Navigator taking an early fall in the extended two-mile contest, the evens favourite barely needed to get out of second gear to defeat Rockpoint by nine lengths.

Henderson said: "To be fair, without Tom George's horse that was probably a really weak affair. He is going the right way.

"He beat Ok Corral here last time and he was getting a penalty off him. He is not called Whatswrongwithyou for nothing!

"He is not in anything so we will see what the handicapper says. He might run in a decent handicap. He travels very strongly and he loves soft ground."


Talkischeap could step up to Grade One company at next month's Cheltenham Festival after landing the Betfair Cash Out Handicap Hurdle.

After being denied a hat-trick last time out, the Alan King-trained six-year-old bounced back to winning ways on his first try over three miles under rules when having enough in hand to see off King Uther by two and a quarter lengths.

King said of the 11/1 victor: "I wanted to get another run in before Cheltenham, but he has never done anything on soft ground before. I'm delighted with him and he has shown a fair bit of ability. I'm sure he will be a better horse on good ground, there is no question about it.

"I imagine we will put him in the Coral Cup. He has the entry in the three miler and we might well run in the Albert Bartlett."
