Right time to throw Al Ferof in at the deep end

PAUL NICHOLLS throws Al Ferof in at the deep end in the Victor Chandler Chase at Ascot today, but I think it is the right decision.

Right time to throw Al Ferof in at the deep end

We know he is only having his third run over fences, but the fact there is no Sizing Europe or Big Zeb in the field makes it a tempting proposition.

This is not a top-class Victor Chandler and it is vital to get some real experience into Al Ferof before he heads to Cheltenham. If running in an ordinary novice event, perhaps for a first prize of say £25,000, he could meet the likes of Sprinter Sacre, Menorah or Peddlers Cross.
