Charlton’s Cup worry

- BY DAVID YATES

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.”
