Western Ryder may be too much for Global Citizen

THE weather will quite obviously play a major role in proceedings this weekend, with Haydock Park expecting snow and most other venues light rain/sleet.

I thought the big meeting to concentrate on was at Ascot where ALTIOR is a given to land the feature Clarence House Chase at 3.35 with only two rivals to worry about.

He is worth watching from a purist’s point of view, but the value wager on the rest of the card has to be the two-and-a-half-mile handicap hurdle at 2.25.
