Hey Big Spender set to thrive in Champagne Bollinger Silver Cup Handicap Chase
Hey Big Spender will look to carry on the winning momentum in the Champagne Bollinger Silver Cup Handicap Chase (Listed Race) at Ascot in England on Saturday, December 22, 2012.
He managed to deliver a quality result in his only outing this year and will be full of confidence right now. He might be a touch rusty, as he last made an appearance at the start of this year.
However, he is experienced enough to cope up with pressure and will definitely cause a lot of problems for his rivals. His record in chase events is a good one, so his fans will be expecting a top class show from him.
Despite that, the Irish challenger should not get carried away and needs to stay focussed form the start until the end. He will have to tackle with some very good stallions, who will also be fancying their chances in the class-1 contest, scheduled to start
at 14:35 GMT.
The overall distance to cover for everyone will be 3 miles, which means that their stamina will be tested to the limit. Moreover, they will have to display more strength, as the ground has become heavy because of the overnight rain.
It will not be easy for anyone of the contestants to walk away with an easy victory, as they will have to be extremely fit in order to fight for a cash prize of £24,477 at the end of the day.
According to the bookmakers, Hold On Julio will be the one to watch out for at Ascot, as he has done really well in races over fences. Therefore, he has been rated as the favourite to succeed, but the punters will definitely consider some other options than
him.
He will not enjoy running on a rain affected ground and his team will be worried about the overall situation.
The Alan King’s trainee has been unable to deliver a winning result over the past several races, so there will be immense pressure on him today.
Compared to him, Hey Big Spender will be really confident of his chances, as he does not mind a wet ground. He will cause a lot of problems for his rivals under his favourite jockey, Joe Tizzard.
