George tips Double Shuffle to shine

Horse Racing

Trainer Tom George believes Double Shuffle can challenge when making his seasonal return at Wetherby on Saturday.

The eight-year-old will be hoping to kick off his jumps season in style in the Grade Two bet365 Charlie Hall Chase on Saturday.

Double Shuffle put in a stunning display when finishing second by a length to Might Bite in the King George VI Chase at Kempton last Christmas.

George is confident the ground will suit his charge in a wide-open field after the likes of Thistlecrack and Bristol de Mai were not declared.

‘He’s in good form.

He’ll get his ground, he hasn’t had it for a bit.

It’s a starting point,’ said George.

‘He had a nice summer and has been in since July.

He’s in good form and we’re looking for a nice run.

‘He obviously seems to be better round Kempton than anywhere else but I think Wetherby should suit him.

It’s a flat track, which he likes, and he likes the better ground so let’s hope he can show his Kempton form.’
