News On Overturn


Donald McCain is waiting to see how the handicapper reacts before deciding whether to give Northumberland Plate hero Overturn another outing on the Flat.

The six-year-old has enjoyed a fantastic 2010 so far, winning the Scottish Champion Hurdle and finishing second in the Swinton Hurdle before his lucrative Newcastle triumph on Saturday.

"He's come out of the race in tremendous nick and we were delighted with him. He toughed it out from the front and Eddie (Ahern) gave him a great ride. We haven't made any definite plans for him yet and we'll just see how he is over the next couple of weeks and see what the handicapper does," said McCain.

"It's all up in the air really but I would like to give him another run somewhere.

"The programme book isn't out for the next jumps season so I don't know where we'll start him off when we go back hurdling either."
