CARD ON CUE FOR ASCOT SUCCESS
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...e&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Cue Card put his King George disappointment well behind him by claiming his first Grade One win over fences in the Betfair Ascot Chase.
Colin Tizzard's stable star (15-8 favourite) looked imperious when landing the Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter, but failed to see out the three miles at Kempton in testing conditions.
Joe Tizzard set out to make all, but his mount was keen and he did not meet every fence on an even keel. Captain Chris moved up menacingly and was still going well when he made a bad blunder at the second-last, and Cue Card was kept up to his work to run out a six-length winner.
