Sandown Next For Ungaro

Ungaro, who preserved his unbeaten record over fences with a 10-length drubbing of Boychuk at Kempton on St Stephen's Day, is to tackle the Scilly Isles Novices' Chase at Sandown on February 3 before any Cheltenham plans are firmed-up.

Keith Reveley reports his charge to have come out of his exertions in the Stan James Feltham Novices' Chase victory in good shape.

The Saltburn trainer said: 'Ungaro has come out of it fine and is having a break now ahead of a trip to Sandown.

'He'll be entered for the Royal & SunAlliance Chase at the Festival, but whether he runs depends on ground conditions.

'He seems to prefer decent ground and I don't think the SunAlliance Chase in a bog would be quite up his street.'

Ungaro, as short as 7-1 for that Cheltenham contest with Coral, is as big as 16-1 with Betfred.
