Tom Scudamore: “Kateson is ready for a step up in class.”

Racing ambassador previews his weekend rides

Saturday – Newbury

12.05 – Legal History

I start the day on Legal History, who is having his first run over hurdles.  He’s schooled nicely, and while it’s a competitive looking race, we’re hopeful of a nice start. 

His flat form is respectable, and he’s pleased us at home so I’m looking forward to this.

2.25 – Aurillac

Aurillac is coming back after a long lay off.  He showed some decent form in novice chases a while back, but was then pulled up on his last two runs, but he seems fit and well at home now. 

He showed some good course form a couple of years ago, but he is returning from a long time off and we’ll know more after tomorrow.

3.00 – Kateson

I’m on Kateson for Tom Lacey in the Challow Hurdle, which is a cracking looking contest. 

His form has worked out well, especially his Chepstow win, which has thrown up winners all over the place!  He’s ready for this step up in class, is a horse I think an awful lot of, and I’m really looking forward to it.

3.35 – Mount Rushmore

My final ride here is on Mount Rushmore for the Tizzards.  We’ve got a bit to find on the handicap, but he showed bits of form in novice hurdles without getting his head in front.
