New season for Lulamba

According to The Sun: Trainer Nicky Henderson explained that Lulamba, the favorite from Arkle with odds of 6-1, will compete in a jump race. Yesterday he finished second in last year's Triumph and is now a contender for the prestigious Grade 1 Prix Renaud du Vivier race taking place in November.

The race over a distance of 2 m 3.5 km will be held at the French racetrack Auteuil, where participants like East France, who finished second in the King George, have previously won.

This decision was surprising as Henderson had previously hinted that 'Lulamba is likely to take on a new distance.' However, he can compete in both races this season, as done by his owner, the stallion Sir Gino, last year.

Joe and Marie Donnelly were shifted into the Fighting Fifth in Newcastle when it became clear that Constitution Hill could not participate. There he won easily and then the Grade 2 Wayward Lad Novices’ Chase in Kempton.

Lulamba has recovered from a surprising defeat at Triumph against 100-1 Ponirous and convincingly celebrated a victory at Punchestown, showcasing his superstar potential.

He is currently the general favorite with odds of 4-1 at most bookmakers. However, the winner Supreme Coepk De Bordes, trained by Willie Mullins, received new support after the announcement of his start over the new distance.

Among the other participants known to British bettors was the former favorite of Fred Winter, Stencil, among the French entrants.

The four-year-old stallion belongs to JP McManus and will be trained across the Channel by Noel George and Amanda Zetterholm.
