Hoof It tees off for ‘Chubby’ in Stewards’ cavalry charge

GOLF guru Andrew “Chubby” Chandler wants to aim higher with Hoof It after the four-year-old attempts to defy the welter burden of 10st in the Blue Square Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood.

Chandler jointly-owns the in-form speedster with top golfer Lee Westwood, but will have to put up a huge weight-carrying performance in one of the most competitive sprint handicaps in the calendar.

Hoof It, trained by Mick Easterby, warmed up for this Herculean task with an emphatic victory at York last Saturday, for which he was handed a 6lb penalty, making him the clear top weight.
