Gallops Report

SAUSALITO SUNRISE warmed up for a marquee weekend assignment with a pleasing spin on Philip Hobbs' compendium of all-weather gallops at Sandhill Stables.

The eight-year-old seems in tremendous form ahead of a seasonal comeback in either the Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby or the Sodexo Gold Cup at Ascot.

Hobbs hopes his charge might have grown up this ahead of a season that could entail a whole range of options.

MENORAH could head for the Charlie Hall granted good ground on Saturday.

The veteran is raring to go, but once the ground eases he will be put away for a spring campaign.

He has shown plenty of gusto in this preparatory work.

After two quick races, WISHFULL DREAMING will be given time to get over those exertions.

A smaller version of his talented brother Wishfull Thinking, the five-year-old should keep paying his way in handicap hurdles through the winter and can be forgiven his rather lacklustre performance at Cheltenham.

OZZIE THE OSCAR has worked in his customary lazy fashion but is worth monitoring if returning to the fray in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby.

ONEFITZALL is best when fresh and the six-year-old has the option of a handicap hurdle at Wetherby.

Much will depend on whether there is cut in the ground at the Yorkshire venue.

STERNRUBIN gained his biggest payday when dead heating in The Ladbroke at Ascot.

He is a lot higher in the handicap but also a lot more settled, and could return to Ascot on Saturday after pleasing in his winding-up gallop.
