Crack Away Jack has Ascot option

Crack Away Jack has been given the option of making his first start in over a year in the Victor Chandler Chase at Ascot on January 22.

There is plenty of strength among the 12 entries for the Grade One including 2009 winner and dual Queen Mother Champion Chase hero Master Minded, and his trainer Paul Nicholls has also put in Free World and Tchico Polos.
