Newbury Friday

AS the Berkshire Novices’ Chase, this contest has thrown up three subsequent Gold Cup winners this century, and to the names of Denman, Bobs Worth and Coneygree, you can now add Caribean Boy, who is the latest bold-jumping grey to race in the colours of Simon Munir and Isaac Souede, and he did a fine impression of Bristol De Mai as he largely outjumped and outgalloped his rivals to post an impressive win.
