Racing Demon set for Ascot return

HENRIETTA KNIGHT has confirmed that Racing Demon is on target to return to fences in the Commercial First Ascot Chase on February 17.

Knight let the King George VI Chase third take his chance in the Lanzarote Hurdle in an attempt to speed up his jumping but the plan backfired when he fell at the fourth last.

“At the moment the plan is still to take him for the Ascot Chase on February 17. He has had a bit of a break since his last run and he is back working now,” said Knight.
