Trabolgan pencilled in for Ascot

Trabolgan is set to have his first outing since winning the 2005 Hennessy Gold Cup when he tackles handicap company at Ascot on December 20.

Trainer Nicky Henderson has entered the 10-year-old in next week’s totesport.com Peterborough Chase at the six-day stage but is instead favouring the BGC Silver Cup later in the month.
