Trainer Ferdy Murphy was thrilled with Kalahari King’s performance in the Blue Square Handicap Chase where he slammed Oiseau De Nuit by three and a quarter lengths. With this victory, Murphy states that King will be heading straight for the Queen Mother Champion Chase.
Murphy also hinted that he was thinking of racing King at the Aintree Melling Chase before heading to Cheltenham. Meanwhile, Murphy’s promising novice chaser, The Hollinwell too had worked well and will be having his next outing at Haydock before the Jewson Novice’s Handicap Chase.
Meanwhile, as I suspected last week I’ve now heard that Tony McCoy still believes that Binocular needs some improvement to become a serious contender for the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle. Though Binocular ended up a close third in last year’s Cheltenham, he is yet to run anywhere near to that form so far this season.
AP McCoy also stated that although Binocular disposed of two inferior rivals at Sandown on Saturday, it was not with the level of intensity or slickness that he displayed last year. Since there’s still a little time, he hopes that Nicky Henderson will be able to bring out some improvement from him.
On a brighter note, after seeing Captain Cee Bee winning at Naas last Saturday, AP McCoy is sure that he has a chance of winning the Irish Independent Arkle Trophy at Cheltenham. McCoy said that though he made a small mistake at the last of the race, he was still eager to ride him at the race.
