Melling Chase Odds table
Cue Card back for this ?
Uxizandre is lined up...
UXIZANDRE, who gave retiring champion jockey Tony McCoy his final Cheltenham Festival winner last week, is likely to head to Aintree where he will bid for more Grade 1 glory in the Melling Chase.
The JP McManus-owned seven-year-old has form at the Grand National meeting having landed the Manifesto Novices' Chase last season and is poised for a return following his front-running Ryanair Chase success at Cheltenham.
Trainer Alan King says Uxizandre is in good shape, but ruled out running him at Punchestown's big end-of-term meeting.
"He usually takes his racing very well and is no different now - he's very pleased with himself," King wrote in his Racing Post Weekender column on Wednesday.
"We have four weeks, so I see no reason why he couldn't go to Aintree for the Melling Chase if JP McManus is keen - Punchestown is obviously out as he has to go left-handed."
