Henry de Bromhead seeks more information before committing two of his best horses to racing in Britain this week
Henry de Bromhead expects to learn on Tuesday whether he will be allowed to send over runners for Kempton’s Christmas Festival, but still wishes to do so if the Irish government will allow his horses and staff to make the return journey, a 48-hour travel ban from Britain having been imposed on Sunday. The County Waterford trainer has chosen a difficult year to have his first runner in the King George but Monalee would have an obvious chance in the Boxing Day feature if allowed to compete, having been beaten less than two lengths in the Gold Cup in March.
