Games strengthens Neptune claims

Parlour Games strengthened his claims for the Neptune Investment Management Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival with a performance of sheer class in the Betfred Goals Galore Challow Hurdle at Newbury yesterday.

The Grade One contest looked strong on paper, but two flights out Noel Fehily was sat motionless as Blaklion and Vyta Du Roc were fighting it out in front.

Just as Vyta Du Roc got the better of Blaklion, Fehily delivered Parlour Games on the stands side to assert by a neck.
