Potential Pertemps switch for Flips

Michael Flips will head a team of three for trainer Andy Turnell at the Cheltenham Festival next week. He finished fourth in the Coral Cup last year and will be joined by promising novice Spanish Treasure and handicap chaser The Rainbow Hunter. "Micheal Flips is in good form and will probably go for the Pertemps," said Turnell. "He's in the Coral Cup too but it depends on the ground. If it's soft, he might go for the Coral Cup, but if it's good it will be the Pertemps. "I found out and reported that Spanish Treasure had bled after Huntingdon last time. He has a couple of entries but if he gets in, I'd like to go for the Supreme. "The Rainbow Hunter could go for one of the handicaps, as could Miss Overdrive, although she might be a bit outclassed."
