Fundamentalist Given Wetherby Date

Fundamentalist is on course to return to action in the Grade Two skybet.com Castleford Chase at Wetherby on December 27.

The Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained seven-year-old has not raced since unseating his jockey at Cheltenham on New Year´s Day, after which his novice season was cut short by a tendon injury.

'He had a leg but it´s all mended. He´s in very good form and he´s going to run at Wetherby in the Castleford Chase,' Twiston-Davies told At The Races.

'We´ll see how we get on in the Castleford Chase but maybe the Queen Mother could be his Cheltenham target, it does look a bit more open.

'If it does appear he´s going to stay then we´ll go for the Gold Cup.'
