Scudamore says: “I’m very confident Friday Night Light can win this”

2.25 Sandown – Friday Night Light

Friday Night Light has the visor on for the first time which I think will help him. He’s tailormade for this race. I’m very confident that he can win this.

The two miles will suit, as will the stiff uphill finish. He’s improved with every run and yes he’s got to improve again. He’s got a 3lb pull with Le Patriote from last time.

That was a very good run and I can see conditions at Sandown suiting my horse even better than they did at Ascot. We’ve now got to go and do it.

I won the Imperial Cup on Baltimore Rock in 2014 which is a while ago now so I’d like to do it again.

3.00 Sandown – Queens Cave

She is a nice filly. I was very impressed with her when she won at Uttoxeter.

It’s a good race tomorrow but Queens Cave is a filly I like an awful lot. We’ve been waiting for this race. I’m going there with lots of confidence in her chance.

Sunday

2.00 Market Rasen – Sizing Cusimano

He’s been running okay. Brian Ellison’s Ballyvic Boru runner sets the standard. I won on him around Perth and he’s a nice horse.

It’s a small field which will suit and whilst he has to turn the form around with Brian Ellison’s runner we’ll give it a shot.

4.10 Market Rasen – Zanstra

Zanstra has been running well. I won on him a few years ago at Huntingdon. He has been running consistently and I think he has a great chance.

He’s my best chance of the day. He deserves to get is head back in front and I’m hopeful of a big run

4.40 Market Rasen – Milly Baloo

Milly Baloo was unfortunate not to win last time. The race was in safe keeping but then she ran out through the wing. I’m obviously hoping for none of those shenanigans on Sunday.

She showed how much ability she has before that aberration. I’ve ridden for Tim on plenty of occasions over the years.

They are a fantastic racing family, and my Dad use to ride for Peter a lot back in the day.
