Jessica Harrington is keeping her fingers crossed that the weather does not disrupt ferry services as she hopes to send Slaney Native over this evening to run in Saturday`s Thomas Pink Gold Cup at Cheltenham.
Slaney Native is the best-fancied of the Irish possibles in the #80,000 contest and is as short as 10 to 1 with Ladbrokes for the race.
However, the seven-year-old may have to stay at home for Down Royal`s Isuzu Chase unless the bad weather relents.
Mrs Harrington explained yesterday: 'The plan at the moment is to definitely come but of course it depends mainly on the weather and getting the horse over there.'
