Hales planning distance move for Millers Bank
Longer trips on the agenda, with the King George not ruled out.
Alex Hales will step Millers Bank up in trip and has not ruled out the King George VI Chase following his fine runner-up effort at Huntingdon on Sunday. Pic D’Orhy was two lengths too good for the eight-year-old in the Peterborough Chase and while connections are in two minds about sending him to Kempton on Boxing Day, they are keen to run him over three miles in future. A narrow runner-up to the same rival in the Pendil at the Sunbury track in February, Millers Bank gained his revenge in the Grade One Manifesto Novices’ Chase at Aintree in April.That looked a fine renewal of the Colin Parker Memorial Intermediate Chase @CarlisleRaces . . .
A crisp leap at the last sealed the deal for chasing debutant Beauport, who manfully outgunned Grade 1-winning hurdler Millers Bank for @NigelTwistonDav and @jordannailor2🏇 pic.twitter.com/AYoCdgbO0C — Racing TV (@RacingTV) October 30, 2022
