Vautour good to go at Ascot, and he will improve

I’m heading to Ascot today and while I only have one ride, it’s one I’m really looking forward to as Vautour begins his campaign in the Stella Artois 1965 Chase.

He’s working really well and the conditions of the race suit him. He’s getting five lbs off Ptit Zig while the other good horse in the race, O’Faolains Boy, has only run once since he won the RSA at Cheltenham last year.

Ptit Zig will have the fitness edge having had a run in Down Royal but, technically, we’re well in on the book.
