Betway Champion Chase hopeful may take in another prep race
He’s come out of last week’s Newbury spill really well and did a nice bit of work yesterday (Saturday).
We were disappointed with what he showed in the Game Spirit as he didn’t jump with his usual confidence or conviction.
In fact, he did something similar when he ran below par at Aintree as a novice after a big break. He blew up that day approaching three out and again didn’t jump with his usual zest.
We got him back on track straight away after that run by taking him to Stratford a couple of weeks later and we are thinking of doing something similar.
I’ve been talking things through with Jamie and he’ll definitely be given an entry in the morning for Chepstow on Saturday.
We’ll work him again on Tuesday and if he goes well I think it’s more than likely that he’ll run. The ‘match practice’ will help both his confidence and ours!
Hopefully Chepstow will see him get his season back on track and then we’ll head to Cheltenham for the Betway Champion Chase.
