Trainer Declan Carroll says he is still hopeful stable star Lifeplan (Kodi Bear) will make the 2,000 Guineas despite the fact the Gimcrack winner has picked up a setback that will rule him out of an intended reappearance in the trial. Lifeplan had been on track to return at the Craven meeting ahead of the season's opening Classic to determine whether his charge could stay a mile, but Carroll may now have to reassess plans for the three-year-old.He said, “Lifeplan is good but he's had a slight little setback which has just come at the wrong time. We were going to run him in the Craven but we might run out of time for that really. We were hoping to take that in before we go for the Guineas.”He added, “The Guineas is the plan at the moment but it's going to be a big ask. We had planned to take in a trial but it's looking a bit tight for us now. It was a good performance in the Gimcrack. He's shown on the track what he's always shown us at home. He's a decent horse, he'd be a star in anybody's yard.“You don't look too far ahead but you have to think of Royal Ascot. We have to see if he gets the mile. That's why we were keen to take in the Craven and we haven't totally ruled it out, but it's looking a bit tight and we'll have to see how he goes at the end of this week.”The post Guineas Hope Lifeplan To Miss Intended Reappearance In The Craven After Setback appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
