Carruthers fancied to motor home

CARRUTHERS would be a popular winner of Cheltenham’s newly-named Argento Chase for trainer Mark Bradstock and owner Lord Oaksey.

The seven-year-old tried his best to notch an all-the-way victory in last year’s RSA Chase at the track but he was out on his feet after a bad blunder and finished fourth.

He put in a satisfactory effort on his return at Wincanton but after missing a planned run in the Hennessy, he blew his rivals away when allowed to really press his case at Newbury last time.
