Key trainer quotes looking ahead to the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham on March 13
Lucinda Russell, trainer of Ahoy Senor
We haven't made a decision yet. The trainer would quite like him to go for the Gold Cup, but sense might suggest he should end up in the Ryanair. He'll go to Aintree afterwards.
Venetia Williams, trainer of Djelo and Martator
They're both going to run again before we decide anything. Djelo will probably go to Newbury for the Game Spirit and once that's out of the way we'll decide what we do next.
