Karello Bay Cut For Cheltenham

The impeccably bred Karello Bay justified favouritism in good style at Wincanton and has been cut to 40/1 (from 50/1) by Blue Square for the Ballymore Properties Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham next month.

Nicky Henderson has an abundance of talented novice hurdlers this season with the likes of Amaretto Rose (joint favourite for the Supreme), Duc De Regniere and Sir Jimmy Shand, but Karello Bay could be a Cheltenham contender too after her performance today.

Kate Miller, Blue Square's PR said: 'Karello Bay showed real improvement today from her hurdling debut at Fontwell last month and won with her ears pricked. Nicky Henderson is spoilt for choice as far as staying novices goes this season and Karello Bay could be a lively outsider for the Ballymore on the second day of the Festival next month.'
