CUE LINED UP FOR CHASING BOW

Joe Tizzard can hardly wait to partner Cue Card as he makes his fencing debut in a fascinating Bet At bluesq.com On Your Mobile Novices' Chase at Chepstow.

The brilliant 2010 Champion Bumper winner won twice from five starts over hurdles and ran with plenty of credit when second behind Menorah in the International Hurdle at Cheltenham.

He was again far from disgraced on his final two starts in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle and in a Grade One at Aintree.

Among his three rivals this weekend is the Paul Nicholls-trained Silviniaco Conti, just one place behind Cue Card in the International.

Tizzard is looking forward to renewing rivalry.

"He's in cracking form and this is what we've been looking forward to doing with him right from the first day we had him," said Tizzard.

"He's schooled ever so well at home. There's only four runners but it's a competitive little race.

"We've beaten Silviniaco Conti before and we're looking forward to taking him on again tomorrow."
