Por pleases ahead of Tingle Tilt

Alan King hopes a recent outing at Cheltenham has taken the “fizz” out of Voy Por Ustedes ahead of the paddypower.com Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown on Saturday.

The Queen Mother Champion Chase winner just failed to concede 26lb to Kalca Mome on his seasonal debut at Prestbury Park.

Second behind Kauto Star 12 months ago without the aid of a previous start, King expects him to be much straighter this weekend.

“He’s in grand form and I’m looking forward to it,” said the Barbury Castle trainer.

“It wasn’t so much last time that he needed to run for fitness, it was that it just tends to take the fizz out of him.

“He can be very exuberant, as we saw at Cheltenham, so hopefully that will have done the trick and when he runs on Saturday he should be spot-on.”

Another former runner-up set to take his chance at the weekend is Kevin Bishop’s Ashley Brook.

The nine-year-old also found Kauto Star too good in 2005 but was in the process of running a big race on his first start of the season at Aintree when he tipped up.

“Ashley Brook definitely runs in the Tingle Creek Chase and he has come out of Aintree very well,” said Bishop.
