    Anyone got any info on horses who have been absent for a while but may be returning in time for Cheltenham? e.g. Bog warrior, Monksland etc.

    Big Bucks, last installment.

    Wouldnt fancy any of them but you'd obviously still have to give massive respect for Big Bucks

    Bog Warrior - back in training, should run in next few weeks:
    "He was unlucky in the World Hurdle last year. He came back with a big problem on his near-joint, but he's back in work and working away well.

    "If luck is on our side we might get a run into him at the end of the month or the beginning of next month.

    "That (Cheltenham) is the aim. It all depends on what happens in the next month. The next month is crucial."

    Monksland - Meade said he'd make comeback over Christmas but didn't for whatever reason but says now:
    "Monksland is in full work & we are aiming @CheltenhamRaces Don't know if we'll get a run beforehand"

    Last Instalment runs this Thursday at Thurles:
    "If Last Instalment's legs allow him, with a bit of luck he still has it in him to compete at the top. I have been absolutely delighted with him.

    "Davy Russell had a sit on him a couple of weeks back and he was very happy with him -- very happy." Russell could yet be reunited with Last Instalment.

    Leopardstown's marquee Grade One (Hennessy) is scheduled for February 9 and Fenton feels that the 24-day gap after the Thurles Grade Two gives Last Instalment a fighting chance of lining up for his first major test since jarring both tendons during his Dr PJ Moriarty triumph under Russell two years ago.

    "He should probably have just enough time to recover," he asserted.

    "If not, we'd consider something like the Red Mills Chase (at Gowran Park on February 15) instead, but it will be great to have him back either way. It was a blow to be missing him for so long. He looked the real deal."
