Tizzard won't shirk clash with Arkle favourite

Cue Card is all set for a potential clash with fellow novice Sprinter Sacre in the Betfair Super Saturday Chase at Newbury on February 11. Colin Tizzard has confirmed the the 2010 Champion Bumper winner will step out of novice company over fences for the first time, and his main rival could be Nicky Henderson's Sprinter Sacre, who served an engagement at Doncaster this weekend. Cue Card got his career back on track last time out at Newbury, and Tizzard feels he will have plenty in his favour on returning to Berkshire. "He's almost certain go to Newbury," said Tizzard. "It will surely be interesting as it looks like Nicky Henderson is going to run Sprinter Sacre there too. "But we won't shirk him as it's the right race and it's the local track for the owners too. He's been there the last twice and run well both times. "It will be interesting to see how he gets on against good horses," he told At The Races.
