Crack Away Jack, as low as 6/1 with Sky Bet for the Champion Hurdle, is likely to reappear in the Coral Ascot Hurdle on November 22.

The four-year-old made a winning return to action at Chepstow earlier this month, form that was boosted when runner-up Squadron won at Aintree on Sunday.

And while the wbx.com "Fighting Fifth" at Newcastle has still not been completely ruled out, trainer Emma Lavelle is eyeing the 2m3f event at Ascot as the gelding's next outing.

"I'd say the aim is for the two-mile-three hurdle at Ascot on November 22," said the in-form Lavelle.

"In saying all of that we probably will put an entry in for the Fighting Fifth but we are aiming for the Ascot race.

"It was great to see Squadron win, at the end of the day I hoped he would run a big race against something else being talked of as a Champion Hurdle horse (Pierrot Lunaire) and he did.

"It was nice to see the other horse get up but Squadron definitely had the beating of him anyway.

"The horses are still running very well I just hope I don't use up all my luck too early!".
