King sounds Chatez Triumph Hurdle warning

A tilt at the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival is far from guaranteed for Chatez despite the exciting youngster making it two from two over hurdles in impressive fashion at Warwick.

Trainer Alan King has clinched the major juvenile prize at Prestbury Park on a couple of occasions in recent years, with Penzance striking in 2005 and the diminutive but popular Katchit successful two years later and Chatez appears an obvious contender.

Good enough to run at Royal Ascot before being sent off favourite for a race on Champions Day, the three-year-old made a fine start to his jumping career at Bangor last month and was a 5-4 favourite to make it two from two in the 10 Free Bet At 32RedSport.com Juvenile Hurdle.
