1.30 TRIUMPH HURDLE

“This is a horse I’m absolutely mad about. I’d love good ground on Friday.” That was a quote from an extremely bullish Nicky Henderson with regard to Charli Parcs in the festival build-up. It looks like he will get his wish with the ground but it is often dangerous to get caught up with hype about horses and on the form book, Charli Parcs' odds looks really short. He has only had two runs in Britain, one of which was in the Adonis Hurdle at Kempton last month where he took a crashing fall when he was bang under pressure. A juvenile hurdler coming into Cheltenham off a fall has to be a big concern and at around the 7/2 mark he is best swerved.
