Petra pencilled in for Adonis

My Petra is the more likely starter of Alan King’s pair of entries in the Racing Post Adonis Juvenile Novices’ Hurdle at Kempton on Saturday as long as the weather stays dry.

King, who also entered Pouvoir for the Grade Two contest, has the strongest team of four-year-old jumpers in the country, headed by Katchit, favourite for the JCB Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham.
