Smart sprinter Tomba is back in training, it emerged today.
The six-year-old, winner of the Group One Prix de la Foret at Longchamp for Brian Meehan in 1998, is now in the care of Michael Jarvis after a deal to stand him at Rossenarra Stud in Co Kilkenny fell through.
Jarvis said today: "He arrived here last weekend and he looks magnificent.
"He's only been here a week and we hope to do something with him later in the year.
"Obviously it's well documented that he's a horse who needs easy ground so when he's fit, the conditions are right and the race is there that's the time we run him."
Jarvis sent out 35 winners last season and will be hoping to emulate that this term.
"We've got a nice string of horses, quite a mixed bag really," the Newmarket trainer added.
"We've got plenty of two-year-olds but most of them are the later developing type but we should have a couple of two-year-old runners in five or six weeks."
