Verdict
The Cheltenham Gold Cup is this season’s aim for CHANTRY HOUSE having won Grade 1 novice chases at Cheltenham and Aintree last term. Nicky Henderson has trained three of the last four winners including the high-class pair Santini and Might Bite and his latest prospect should have the measure of The Big Breakaway. The latter is fitted with cheekpieces having pulled-up behind today’s rival at Aintree and falling at the last on his comeback at Newton Abbot.
