Hitman has Scilly Isles in his sights
Novice has just turned five.
Hitman will step up in trip for a crack at the Virgin Bet Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase at Sandown on February 6. Hugely impressive on his British debut for Paul Nicholls at Ffos Las, he was far from disgraced behind leading Arkle contender Allmankind in the Henry VIII Novices’ Chase at Sandown last time out. Nicholls is now keen to step him up in trip and he was entered for the rearranged Grade Two Dipper Novices’ Chase run at Wincanton on Saturday but he was not declared.👏 Allmankind looks a natural once more as he wins the Henry VIII Novices’ Chase
4⃣ He’s the first four-year-old to win this since 2008 🎯 Runner-up Hitman could never quite get him in his sights…pic.twitter.com/Ig7qYg8JW3— Sporting Life (@SportingLife) December 5, 2020
