The Avontuur-bred Western Winter filly Cold As Ice, who notched up her first British win at only the second attempt just over a week ago, will have one more outing before going for the £150 000 All-Weather Championship Final at Lingfield on Good Friday (March 25).
Cold As Ice – immediate plans clarified
That outing in early February is to qualify her and last season’s Choice Carriers, Sceptre and Laisserfaire winner could be ridden by an English-based jockey for the first time.
Bernard Fayd’Herbe has ridden her in both her UK starts but is not expected to be able to do the weight.
Greg Cheyne was to go but x-rays have revealed fractures in the foot he damaged on Monday.
Brian Finch, whose wife Kathy owns the filly in partnership with Belinda Kieswetter, said: “She will have a break after the Lingfield race and then we will see how she fares racing on turf.”
She is trained by William Haggas.
