Nacarat begins to fulfil promise with impressive Wetherby win

Tom George is excited about what might lay ahead for Nacarat after his brilliant display in the bet365 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby.

The grey lined up in West Yorkshire without a victory to his name since landing the 2009 Racing Post Chase, having repeatedly come up slightly short at the highest level.

However, George had hinted that this could be the season the nine-year-old reached the peak of his powers, with a new training regime having put an end to the countless shoulder problems he had encountered in the past.

As Ollie Magern, began to feel the pinch heading down the back straight for a second time, a bold-jumping Nacarat (6-1) took up the running and powered home to win by four lengths from The Tother One.
