Second-season chaser has the potential to play starring role

2.25 Newbury

This long-established race was a conditions event until it became a limited handicap in 1998. Eight four-year-olds have been successful.

Charli Parcs fell when having every chance at Kempton, but my assessment of the Adonis form wasn't accurate as the first two in that race barely made the top ten in the Triumph Hurdle, where he finished sixth. Nicky Henderson, who had five victories between 1999 and 2012 certainly hasn't lost faith.
