Feuille De Lune stands out on absorbing Cheltenham hunter chase card
A £10,000 final for the Ineos Grenadier series of mixed open point-to-points and an absorbing intermediate race are but two highlights of Friday evening's card at Cheltenham.
For a new sponsor a debut at the home of jumps racing is not a bad entree, and Ineos Grenadier's first appearance is complemented by a competitive race. If a small percentage of inquiries they have fielded at point-to-point meetings about its embryonic four-wheel drive vehicle are converted into sales the company should be delighted with their first year in the sport.
Norfolk-based farmer David Kemp saddles four horses with good chances on the card, in particular ten-year-old Caryto Des Brosses, who lines up in the Ineos Grenadier final. He and rider Dale Peters were second to Hazel Hill in 2019 when the race was under another sponsorship. Kemp also runs How To Get Away and Rebel Dawn Rising in the intermediate race and Law Of Gold in the four-miler.
