Don Poli in pole position in RSA Chase

Don Poli can take this afternoon’s RSA Chase en route to greater things.

A winner at the Festival in 2014, when taking the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' race, he has looked a natural in two runs over fences to date, and the demands of this race, which can be a real test for a young horse, should pose no problems.

Such is the confidence in his stamina, connections considered running him in the four-mile race here yesterday, but the late confirmation for this more prestigious race can reap reward.
