Alasi likely to skip clash with Peddlers

PAUL Webber is unlikely to let Alasi take on the might of Peddlers Cross, Sprinter Sacre and Menorah at Kempton on Tuesday.

The Banbury trainer feels the time is not right for the smart mare to be throw in the deep end against three talented geldings in the williamhill.com Wayward Lad Novices’ Chase.

The seven-year-old made a successful debut over fences against her own sex at Huntingdon earlier this month, having taken a Listed mares’ hurdle prize on her first outing since the spring.
