King George VI Chase: Kempton Park
Christmas racing news……Philip Hobbs 2012 King George VI Chase runner-up Captain Chris is not certain to run at Kempton regardless of how he fares in Thursday’s Peterborough Chase.
Currently a 16-1 chance, for the William Hill King George, Captain Chris is set to return to action in Huntingdon’s event this week.
The nine-year-old was withdrawn from his intended comeback in last month’s Amlin Chase at Ascot due to lameness.
“The Peterborough Chase is very much the plan,” said Hobbs. “We’re wrong at the weights with Riverside Theatre, but we have to go there.”
Asked about Kempton, the trainer said: “There are only two weeks between this and the King George so we will have to see how he comes out of it.”
The Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton over Christmas remains the next likely port of call for Sire De Grugy (8/1), following his victory in the BetVictor Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown on Saturday.
Trainer Gary Moore (pictured) fulfilled an ambition of sending out a first Grade One success in the two-mile feature, and to make the occasion even more memorable his stable star was ridden by his son, Jamie. “I hope to run him at Kempton,” said Moore. “I know we have take Sprinter Sacre on at some point and I’d rather it was there (on December 27).
