Commander team consider options

Imperial Commander could bid to get his Gold Cup dream back on track in the Letheby & Christopher Chase at Cheltenham later this month.

Last season’s Ryanair Chase hero put up a fantastic performance to get within a nose of Kauto Star in the Betfair Chase at Haydock in November and was expected to provide the latter with another stern test in the King George VI Chase at Kempton on December 26.
