SOMERSBY SET FOR SACRE CLASH
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Mick Channon has confirmed Somersby will come back in distance for a tilt at the Sportingbet Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.
Narrowly beaten in the 2010 Arkle and fifth in the Champion Chase a year later, Somersby has been largely campaigned over longer trips since, but did win last year's two-mile-one-furlong Victor Chandler Chase at Ascot.
He was a well beaten third behind red-hot Queen Mother favourite Sprinter Sacre at Cheltenham in late January, but having seemingly failed to get home over further in last month's Betfair Ascot Chase, he is set for a return to the minimum distance.
