Ruth Jefferson hoping Sounds Russian can book Gold Cup ticket
Trainer will find out if she has more than a handicapper on her hands.
Sounds Russian will bid to underline his Gold Cup claims when he runs in the Paddy Power Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham on Saturday. The promising chaser, who was just touched off by Into Overdrive in the Rowland Meyrick, conceding 15lb at Wetherby on Boxing Day, has an official rating of 161. That has made him difficult to place and trainer Ruth Jefferson hopes to find out if she has a horse capable of competing at the highest level on her hands.The highly progressive Into Overdrive is a game winner of the GBP 50,000 @WilliamHill Rowland Meyrick for @mwalfordracing & Jamie Hamilton in a thrilling contest at @WetherbyRaces 🏇 pic.twitter.com/XyhbXADrBm
