Scudamore confident Roque can rise to Classic challenge
Novice goes for gold in Warwick highlight.
Improving young stayer Gericault Roque takes on 14 rivals in a competitive renewal of the Agetur UK Ltd Classic Handicap Chase at Warwick, with jockey Tom Scudamore confident he holds “a good chance”. The David Pipe-trained six-year-old has been placed in all three starts over fences, including when a length and a quarter behind Saint Palais at Newbury last month, with the pair 11 lengths clear of the rest. Scudamore is hopeful he can break his duck over fences at the fourth attempt in the Grade Three contest, run over three miles and five furlongs.Connections might have fun with this horse!
Corach Rambler is progressive and looks like he has more to offer, making it two from three over fences at @CheltenhamRaces @lucindavrussell pic.twitter.com/wuwoM116jJ — Racing TV (@RacingTV) December 10, 2021
