Festival could be on agenda for Supreme

Beau Supreme continued on an upward curve at Ludlow yesterday and left trainer Chris Down wondering whether a trip to the Cheltenham Festival might be in order.

The eight-year-old prevailed in a thrilling finish to the Forbra Gold Challenge Cup, although he had to survive a stewards’ enquiry before collecting the spoils having just got the better of King On The Run by a head after the pair came very close in the last few strides.
