Celestial Halo and Zarkandar will both be in action this weekend as they attempt to form what trainer Paul Nicholls feels will be his back-up for Big Buck's in next month's Ladbrokes World Hurdle at Cheltenham.

Champagne kept on ice.

Champagne Fever will head to the Cheltenham Festival without another run after he was not declared for the Flyingbolt Novice Chase at Navan on Sunday.

Willie Mullins is not 100% happy with the Rich Ricci-owned grey, with Ireland's champion trainer now likely to finalise his preparation with another racecourse gallop.

On-song Melodic rules in Kingwell

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sat

Quote:

Melodic Rendezvous found more when it mattered to deny Zarkandar in the Bathwick Tyres Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton.

The Jeremy Scott-trained eight-year-old was sent off the even-money favourite in the Grade Two over two miles and again showed his aptitude for a fight in the mud.

Captain crushes Ascot rivals.

Quote:

Captain Chris made amends for his defeat by Cue Card in last year's Betfair Ascot Chase by storming to victory in this Grade One contest at the Berkshire track.

Leading on the turn for home with two to jump, the 8-11 favourite bounded clear in the hands of Richard Johnson.

The Philip Hobbs-trained 10-year-old negotiated the last two obstacles in exemplary fashion as he galloped way ahead of Cloudy Too. Hunt Ball was third.

Tea impresses despite Harry success.

Teaforthree may have been touched off by Restless Harry (4-1) in the Weatherby's Hamilton Insurance Chase at Ascot but afterwards all the talk was about Aintree for last season's Welsh National runner-up.

The Rebecca Curtis-trained 10-year-old was beaten a neck in the three-mile Listed event after a titanic duel over the final three fences, but Noel Fehily's mount was immediately slashed in price for the Crabbie's Grand National, a race in which he finished third last season.

Gigginstown House Stud have no intention of replicating the decision of fellow owner Barry Connell to bench his Philip Fenton-trained runners until the handler's ongoing court case is resolved.
