Thomas Mor could prove he is the forgotten horse in the newbie chasing department when he heads to Ascot for the Injured Jockeys Fund Ambassadors Programme Reynoldstown Novices' Chase on Saturday.


Philip Hobbs and Johnson White's course winner was second to Kitzbuhel in the Kauto Star Novices' Chase on Boxing Day and having actually seen Kempton 3rd, Wendigo, and 4th, Salver, frank the type given that, connections are resilient ahead of this Grade Two event which might function as a springboard to the Cheltenham Festival.


White stated: "The kind has actually been increased since Christmas, I was extremely surprised when taking a look at the Brown Advisory betting to see he is 100-1 and a few of the horses that have actually been behind him and not too far in front are single figures.


"He's in great form and schooled well on Tuesday morning and goes back to Ascot which is a course he won well at on his penultimate start. need to match and he's 10lb greater than anything else on scores so we need to be enthusiastic.


"We'll get Saturday out the way initially before we think about Cheltenham but at the moment we are thinking about the Grade One.


"This has actually constantly been the race we wanted for him after Kempton and we're very much anticipating the track we are taking."

Hobbs and White might likewise be represented at Ascot by the well-regarded Starzand in the opening Betfair Novices' Hurdle, a race the steady won with Sporting John back in 2020.


Meanwhile, French Ship, another of the Minehead operation's leading lights, is likely to check the waters in graded business at Haydock when heading to the north west for the ZYN Rendlesham Hurdle.


"He'll most likely go to Haydock instead of the Pertemps qualifier at Wincanton," continued White.


"It will be competitive but he remains in excellent form and he's run well at Haydock in the past, so there's no reason not to be thinking that way.


"He remains in excellent kind and schooled over a couple of difficulties on Tuesday morning. We couldn't be better with him and excited to see how he gets on."
