VICTORIA PENDLETON’S prospects of fulfilling her dream to ride at the Cheltenham Festival are set to increase in the coming days with the expected announcement of her intended mount in the St James’s Place Foxhunter Chase.

Pendleton has yet to finish a race in a pair of point-to-point outings, but having pulled up in two efforts towards the end of last year she is set to resume her racecourse education with two mounts at Black Forest Lodge on Sunday.

The dual Olympic cycling gold medallist, who finished second in the first of three starts in Flat amateur handicaps but was unseated in the third, has been working with top point-to-point trainer Alan Hill, while her project is being backed by Betfair.

Betfair spokesman Barry Orr said: ‘’Victoria is continuing her training programme, riding out daily at Alan Hill’s and continuing her coaching sessions under the guidance of Yogi Breisner.

“Ideally, we would have liked to have secured her more race-riding experience at this stage, but injuries to horses, the wet weather and lack of opportunities have all played their part.

“We have managed to secure her some outside rides for the coming weeks and this weekend at Black Forest Lodge, given suitable ground and sound horses, she is scheduled to ride According To Sarah and Supreme Danehill. The intention is to give her as much race-riding experience as possible between now and Cheltenham.”

It is understood that Pendleton’s intended mount at Cheltenham is likely to be named in the wake of her riding at Black Forest Lodge.

Coral quote Pendleton at 7-4 to ride in the Foxhunter, while they offer 16-1 about her finishing in the first three, and 66-1 she wins.

Orr added: “She has made fantastic progress and we are very proud of what she has achieved so far.

“Although Cheltenham is only nine weeks away, providing there are no major setbacks we remain confident that she can fulfil the challenge and line up in the Foxhunter.”
