Charlie Fellowes warns when he’s to take his opportunity at the Cambridgeshire Handicap at Newmarket conditions have to be acceptable for King Ottokar.
The Newmarket handler is keen to run the three-year-old from the prestigious event after picking sending him at ParisLongchamp to France on Saturday for the Group Three Prix du Prince d’Orange
It is one Fellowes expects him to take into his stride while racing and the trip in a field will introduce a challenge on Saturday week.
Fellowes stated:”King Ottokar is not going to operate in France because he had a small bad scope about three weeks ago – that only put us on the rear foot to the French race.”
“The Cambridgeshire is very much under consideration, however I’d want a little bit of rain to collapse to operate in it.
“I think the one-mile-one is absolutely fine, particularly if it came up tender, and a big field would not be a difficulty because the tougher they go, the better it would be for him – so there is plenty to enjoy about the race.”
Should conditions on the Rowley Mile maybe not be acceptable for King Ottokar, Fellowes has drawn up a back-up program over course and distance.
He added:”If we don’t go there, then the back-up solution is that the Darley Stakes – that is a Group Three over the same trip in October.
“If the ground is too quick there then that might be it for the season, because that is all there is about left .”
Fellowes is confident there is still more to come, Though King Ottokar has just 1 victory in a situation race at Newbury to his name this year.
He added:”He has had a very unfortunate year – since when you look at the area he beat at Newbury, I do not understand how he has not won a Group race.
“We attempted to pursue the Derby fantasy and ran him over too far sooner in the season – then he was unlucky at Salisbury time, simply being in the wrong location.
“He’s a young horse, and next season is going to probably be his best ”
