Tizzard team keep Card faith
The seven-year-old, trained by his father Colin, looked like landing Kempton’s showpiece over three miles on heavy ground but he weakened dramatically in the closing stages and was passed by Silviniaco Conti.
Despite the agonising defeat, the Tizzard team were still delighted with the run.
“He still run an absolute blinder. I look forward to taking on the other horse (Silviniaco Conti) on good ground,” the rider told at The Races.
“You can’t say he didn’t get the trip. He jumped super and got into a lovely rhythm. We were chuffed to bits but the best horse on the day won.
“We haven’t made a decision which race to go for, but we’ll decide on that closer to the time.”
