Call The Cops is likely to be given the chance to follow up Saturday's impressive Doncaster win in the Pertemps Network Final at the Cheltenham Festival next Wednesday.

The Nicky Henderson-trained six-year-old was having just his second start of the season and was expected to improve for the outing on his first run over three miles.

However, he ran away with jockey Andrew Tinkler throughout and bounded clear to win by five lengths.

"I'd gone away for a few days in Tenerife and couldn't believe watching it on TV how easily he won," said owner Matt Morgan.

"We thought Batavir would take a lot of beating and that we'd need the run, but the favourite didn't run his race and our lad loved being back on good ground.

"Nicky says he's absolutely bouncing and that he didn't have a hard race.

"All things being equal, and everything going to plan, I reckon we'll be running."
