Tizzard mulls Lively bid

JOE Lively is a possible for the Letheby And Christopher Chase at Cheltenham on January 24 following his creditable effort in the Coral Welsh National.

Trainer Colin Tizzard has the valuable staying contest, registered as the Cotswold Chase, in mind for the 10-year-old, who was sixth to Notre Pere in last week’s Chepstow marathon.

Joe Lively has won three times over fences at Cheltenham but Tizzard believes the handicapper has the horse’s measure at the moment.
