Demon handed hurdles option

Henrietta Knight is considering giving Racing Demon a run over hurdles after he finished a respectable fourth in the King George VI Chase at Kempton on St Stephen's Day.

The West Lockinge trainer has also not ruled out the possibility of taking on King George winner Kauto Star in the Commercial First Ascot Chase over two miles, five and a half furlongs at the Berkshire course on February 16.
