Coralambassador previews his weekend rides and looks ahead to Cheltenham
Saturday
12.40Kempton – No Hidden Charges
NoHidden Charges has had a fantastic season so far. He is back off a little breakfollowing his run last time at Newbury. The better ground which he will get atKempton will suit him. He is going to have to carry a lot of weight here but heis the top-rated horse in the race. I am looking forward to riding him.
13.15 Kempton – Queen’s Magic
Queen’sMagic has made a good start over fences. She was running a big race last timeat Doncaster against Lady Buttons and La Bague Au Roi when she came down. Upuntil that error, she looked like she was going to give her rivals a big racein that Listed contest.
Herofficial rating suggests she has something to find here but she showed she iscapable of doing that in her last run. She is in great order and the groundshould suit her at Kempton.
16.45 Kempton – Skerries Harbour
Idon’t know a lot about Skerries Harbour who is making his debut in the bumperto end the card at Kempton. It will be a watch and brief so hopefully we find alot more about him following this run.
Cheltenham plans
Thisweek I won board Night Edition at Ludlow and he will go forthe Fred Winter at the Festival. He won with the minimum amount of fuss and wassecond in a Grade Two contest at Cheltenham the time before. We think he willbe competitive but I am sure connections of many of the horses will be thinkingexactly the same thing.
Ramses De Teillee is set for the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle now. He has been fantastic since his wind-op. I rode him to victory at Doncaster earlier this year and then he was successful at Haydock last weekend. The nature of the Albert Bartlett will suit him as he is a tough and durable horse.
Israel Champ is in good order and ready for theChampion Bumper. He is a course and distance winner and one to be excitedabout. I won the Champion Bumper on Moon Racer in 2015 and hopefully I can havemore success in the race this year.
