Gordon favouring Betfair Hurdle for Aucunrisque
Trainer set to bypass Doncaster chase date.
Chris Gordon is poised to aim versatile Aucunrisque at Newbury’s Betfair Hurdle in a fortnight’s time and has all but ruled him out of a tilt over fences on Saturday. The seven-year-old has won four of six races over hurdles, but has been campaigned in chases so far this term. Having won on his fencing bow at Uttoxeter, he was runner-up to Frere D’Armes in the Fulke Walwyn Trophy at Newbury and was then beaten a length by Boothill in the Grade Two Wayward Lad Novices’ Chase at Kempton over Christmas.🥊 Boothill vs Aucunrisque – fantastic tussle
