Race The Ace set for quick follow-up

RACE THE ACE can follow up a recent easy win at Goodwood with victory in the Roseland Group Autumn Handicap at Nottingham today.

The three-year-old is bred to make his mark over staying distances and, after a couple of pleasing efforts over shorter earlier in the season, relished the step up to two miles at Sandown in August.

Although the son of First Trump could only finish third on that occasion, he was not disgraced as he took a keen hold from the off and his stable was not enjoying the best of times.
