Planteur at Chapel Stud Henry VIII Novices’ Chase (Grade 1)

THE main headline to come out of the Grade 1 Henry VIII Novices’ Chase was the time comparison between the novice race and the Tingle Creek just over half an hour later, with the juvenile Allmankind (Dan/Harry Skelton) exactly a second faster than Politologue, which reflects great credit on the all-the-way winner, for all that credit must be tempered by the fact that this race was run at a faster pace over the first few fences. Allmankind was also carrying 11lb less than Politologue.
