Cue Card and Grands Crus could meet at Newbury.
"The Colin Tizzard-trained Cue Card made a most impressive start to life over fences"
Cue Card will bid to make amends for his Cheltenham mishap at Newbury on Friday, where he could clash once again with Grands Crus...
The Colin Tizzard-trained Cue Card made a most impressive start to life over fences when easily landing the odds at Chepstow, but parted company with jockey Joe Tizzard at the eleventh fence at Cheltenham's Open meeting.
Grands Crus, making his chasing debut, went on to comfortably win that race, achieving a Timeform rating of 149P, but it would have been fascinating to see what Cue Card had to offer at the business end against David Pipe's grey.
Also entered in the Newbury contest is Bobs Worth, trained by Nicky Henderson, who would be making his debut over the larger obstacles. The six year-old was an impressive winner of the Albert Bartlett novices' hurdle at the Cheltenham festival last season, and is currently second favourite behind Grands Crus for the RSA chase at [11.0], a price which will surely contract if he were to demonstrate his ability on Friday.
