Somersby set for Creek challenge

SOMERSBY is on course to take his chance in the rearranged Keith Prowse Hospitality Tingle Creek Chase at Cheltenham on Saturday.

Last season’s Arkle Trophy runner-up made a pleasing return to action when third in the Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter and his trainer Henrietta Knight does not see the switch from Sandown to Cheltenham as a big negative.

“The plan is for him to run as long as it takes place,” said Knight.
