Aviator at Kempton on Bank Holiday Monday
Sunday, May 6, 2018
AVIATOR is our only Bank Holiday Monday runner at Kempton. He runs in a 9 runners 2mile 5 furlong handicap hurdle and will be ridden by Nick Schofield. He has not raced since December purely because we have been waiting for better ground for him. We are now hoping the ground hasn't gone too much the other way and they water well enough for the going to be genuinely good ground. He is running in cheek pieces as this trip is probably a bit on the sharp side for him these days so it will just help the jockey to get him travelling and it will sharpen him up. Although he is now 10 years old there is plenty of life in him and he is in good form at home. We just hope he can run a decent race and run again in few weeks time and continue through the summer. He also has the option of returning to the flat but is probably a better horse over hurdles this days.
