Cooper's Cross was second with Flash De Touzaine third, Threeunderthrufive fourth and Magna Sam, whose effort proved short-lived, coming home in fifth. All runners were in contention at the end of the first two of three circuits with Manothepeople and Lord Accord sharing pacemaking duties with Undersupervision, Ruthless Article and Threeunderthrufive in the next rank with Flash Collonges getting a clear sight of his fences on the outside. Kitty’s Light was cut to 5-1 from 10-1 for the Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter on March 18, but appears unlikely to take his chance. Indestructible , who finished runner-up twice behind Chaldean last season, could line up for Karl Burke alongside Godolphin's Noble Style , who is 10-1 for the Guineas following his unbeaten two-year-old campaign. He loves fast ground and I think that’s the key to him, his jumping stands up then. I don’t know how he won at Newcastle, he didn’t jump one fence and still won the race, so it goes to show that there’s something a bit different inside of him.”
Sandown 1.05 Arqoob has progressed steadily since switching from the Flat to hurdles this season and his jumping went up another notch on his handicap debut at Newbury last month. The winner there followed up next time and Lucy Wadham’s gelding is an interesting 12-1 shot off the same mark. Kitty’s Light has already enjoyed a season to remember this term, also winning the valuable Eider Chase at Newcastle in February amongst his seven starts. Kitty's Light will bid to go one better than his runner-up finish in last year's Coral Scottish Grand National ( 3.35 ) as he heads 31 confirmations for the Ayr feature on Saturday.He does his best work in the latter stages of a race. He’s got a Flat pedigree and is not bred to be jumping fences and running over four miles!
He ran in both races last year, but this year they’re only a week apart so I think we will target one or the other.We’ve definitely got unfinished business in the bet365 Gold Cup. I’d have probably almost targeted this rather than the Scottish National but the owners wanted to go there after having a wonderful time in Scotland the year before and that’s a very prestigious race as well. All of the leading market principles for the Grade 2 contest remained in contention including Tolworth third Nemean Lion , who scored at this level in Kelso's Premier Novices' Hurdle last month, and Morebattle runner-up Colonel Mustard . Scottish Grand National confirmations Last Saturday's three-length victory came 12 months after his second place in the race at Ayr and Williams is hoping for the same outcome at Sandown. We’re always on the lookout for horses every day and for a new place as well. We’ll find something. I have plenty of confidence in what I do and I have good staff, so moving is not something I’m worried about.
I think she just comes right at this time of year and Kitty’s Light is similar. You can’t not run them through the winter, Kitty’s Light went to Kempton three times this year and we had some wonderful days there watching him run in the royal box in big races. You’re getting beaten but he’s a racehorse and he’s bought to run so we like to run them.” Williams reports his charge to be in fine fettle ahead of the weekend, while sponsor bet365 rate Kitty’s Light as the 4/1 favourite for the 3m 5f contest. Kitty's Light finished second in 2021 and third in 2022 in the most recent two renewals of the big race at Sandown's Finale fixture which marks the end of the British jump racing season. It's been tough but Kitty has been a flagship horse here for the last two years and winning the Scottish National was a massive boost for everyone, so it was a very emotional day." That didn't prevent the latter coming down at the nineteenth (of 27), bringing down Dusart, with Mighty Thunder departing at the same obstacle as the field began to string out.
The Group 3 race, registered as the Fred Darling, has attracted 22 entries which include Lowther Stakes 1-2 Swingalong and Queen Me .
