Lord Sam ready to rule ??

[peteg40]

Wetherby 2.40.... LORD SAM Jump racing really gets into its stride tomorrow with the running of the Bet 365 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby and it will be fascinating to see how Lord Sam fares as he comes into the range of the big guns for the first time. Victor Dartnall's rising star has a remarkable record, having won nine times in ten career outings and he could hardly be crabbed for his only defeat as he finished third to Hardy Eustace in the Royal & Sun Alliance Novices Hurdle at the 2003 Cheltenham Festival. The lightly-raced eight-year-old ran four times in novice chases last season and won the lot, rounding off his campaign with a neck victory over Hi Cloy at Punchestown over a trip that was short of his best. He will obviously have to improve further if he is to make his mark out of the novice ranks, but he has any amount of scope and the three miles one furlong of the Wetherby contest should be just right. It's a big ask against some real top-notchers, but Lord Sam is taken to win this Grade Two event to continue his rise up the ladder. Whould be interested in anyone elses views :ok
