Albert Bartlett the target for Sea Of Thunder

The Albert Bartlett Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March is the target for yesterdays unlucky Cheltenham faller Sea Of Thunder.

The Charles Byrnes trained gelding was six lengths clear and in command when falling at the last in a Grade 2 contest over three miles at Cheltenham yesterday.

Speaking from Cork this afternoon Byrnes said: "Sea Of Thunder is a bit stiff but ok.

"He will go for the Albert Bartlett Hurdle at the Festival in March now but he will probably have one more run before then.

"Both he and Pittoni had rough passages over as they were on the boat for six hours and then it took three hours to dock.

"Pittoni will have a bit of a break now."
