There has not been a double-figure field for Wetherby’s big race since 2006 but there is every chance of that this weekend
It was like “looking at a Premier League squad” as the entries arrived on Monday for the Charlie Hall Chase this weekend, according to Jonjo Sanderson, Wetherby’s clerk of the course.
“I’d been given a slight nod that Cyrname [the top-rated chaser in trainer] was coming, which was a huge tonic for us,” Sanderson said on Tuesday, “but they just kept coming as we went through the morning. We got to about 15 and it was stuck for ages, then the next time I looked, it was up to 20 and we had [2018 Gold Cup runner-up] Might Bite and [dual Grade One winner] La Bague Au Roi in there, and quite a few others.
