FIND PROFIT IN LOST
Translation can be talk of the town in King George
LOSTINTRANSLATION makes plenty of appeal – in any language – for the Ladbrokes King George VI Chase (3.05) at Kempton.
A step up to three miles saw Colin Tizzard’s son of Flemensfirth lift the Grade 1 Mildmay Novices’ Chase at Aintree last April.
Having returned to land the odds back over two and a half miles in intermediate company at Carlisle at the start of November, Lostintranslation faced his sternest test when taking on all-comers for the Betfair Chase at Haydock 20 days later.
Robbie Power’s mount passed with flying colours, pouncing late to hold Bristol De Mai, winner of the previous two runnings, by a length and a half.
Tizzard (above), who saddled Cue Card to King George glory in 2015 and Thistlecrack 12 months later, is confident the Cheltenham
Gold Cup favourite will have the speed for this test.
And there is plenty more to come from this most promising sevenyear-old, who gets the vote over the Paul Nicholls pair, reigning champion Clan Des Obeaux and rising star Cyrname. Nicholls may have better DANNY luck with his WHIZZBANG,
who upset Tizzard’s smart Reserve Tank at Newbury on his fencing bow, in the toplevel Ladbrokes Kauto Star Novices’ Chase (1.55). FUSIL RAFFLES
is three from three since joining Nicky Henderson from France, and is expected to step forward from his win at Wincanton to lift the Ladbrokes Christmas Hurdle (2.30).
The Ladbrokes “Where The Nation Plays” Chase (1.20) can go HOLD THE NOTE to Mick Channon’s to add to stablemate Glen Forsa’s score of 12 months ago.
