Double Thriller, fourth in the 1999 Cheltenham Gold Cup, is not certain to be in the line-up for the Tote Silver Cup at Ascot on Saturday, it emerged today.
'There won`t be a decision until later in the week when we know what the ground will be like,' the 10-year-old`s trainer Paul Nicholls said. 'With him having had a wind problem I wouldn`t want to run him on desperate ground.
'There will be plenty of options over Christmas for him.'
The recent wet weather has not affected Nicholls` training routine.
He said: 'We`ve not had any problems. We have a good all-weather gallop - it`s the courses that are wet.'
