Charlton’s Cup worry
WITHHOLD may have to run before the Melbourne Cup to avoid missing the cut for Flemington on November 6.
Roger Charlton’s Cesarewitch and Northumberland Plate hero is William Hill’s 8-1 favourite for the ‘race that stops a nation’.
But Withhold is way down the list of acceptors - 24 is the maximum field size and Charlton said: “I think it ‘s going to be tough. The only way of getting more weight is to win a race out there.”
