Tom George has been plotting a transition to novice chasing for 2 of the stars.
Black Friday, winner of this 2018 Mersey Novices Hurdle, initially put last season, but reverted back into the hurdles that were smaller after two defeated efforts.
The eight-year-old finished a creditable third on his debut over fences at Exeter and followed that up with another third-placed finish in the Grade Two Dipper Novices Chase at Cheltenham.
He spent the rest of the season finishing third and fourth at the Cleeve and Select Hurdles in addition to some ending from the Stayers Hurdle.
George now intends to revisit his original plan, confirming that Black Op will return to run on fences.
He is good, he is in form, George stated.
Hes been schooling well and he is not far away a jog. Theres a strong chance hell run at (owner) Roger Brookhouses area class, which will be Stratford, in a two-and-a-half-mile novice chase.
He will definitely be going over fences, he further added.
Things went against him a bit a year ago – the floor was too firm and we could not get him out. So were starting from scratch this year and we are going to locate a race.
He has been schooling using Henrietta Knight and everyone is extremely happy with him.
Brookhouse is a key proprietor for George, using 2018 Supreme Novices Hurdle winner Summerville Boy in his or her care.
The seven-year-old hasnt registered a success since that Cheltenham performance, last year fighting in a few Graded races.
At which he was sixth behind the Buveur dAir of Nicky Henderson at the Punchestown Champion Hurdle his year ended at Punchestown.
Everything went wrong last year really, said the Slad-based trainer.
He was only beaten six seasons from Buveur DAir at Punchestown, however.
Hes been education over fences and certainly will go novice chasing.
Hes close enough prepared, hes always jumped a fence better than he leaps a hurdle since he has more respect for them. He will go to get a two-mile newcomer chase.
