CHARM HEADS FOR CHELTENHAM

Published at

Charlie Morlock is to send his smart mare Native Charm to Cheltenham without another race, the trainer revealed today.

"She will go for either the Mildmay of Flete or the Cathcart," said the Wantage handler.

"There was a race for her at Haydock on Saturday but I didn't even enter her for it as I didn't want her to have a hard race on heavy ground."

Native Charm earned a crack at next month's Festival after winning three races this season and then splitting Rockforce and Edredon Bleu on her latest start at Sandown this month.
