Golden Ace's trainer Jeremy Scott eyes a Champion Hurdle title defence after a late-night victory at Brompton Regis stables. Scott, who missed team celebrations to stay with his horse, emphasized the win's impact: "The win upped our profile, securing two new horses and boosting confidence." Despite a disappointing Wetherby finish, Golden Ace rebounded with a Fighting Fifth win at Newcastle and a strong Kempton run. Jockey Lorcan Williams praised the race's openness but expressed confidence in Golden Ace's form, stating, "I would not swap her for any other horse in the race." With the Cheltenham Festival approaching, Scott's team aims to capitalize on momentum, though challenges remain in facing top-tier competition.
