Charlie, with two consecutive victories, is poised to catch the judges' attention in the Bangalore Turf Club Trophy, the feature race on the 14th day of the Mumbai racing season, underlights set to take place at the Mahalaxmi Racecourse on Thursday.

Having recently clinched the Aziz H. Ahmedbhoy Trophy under the skilled guidance of champion jockey A. Sandesh, Charlie demonstrated his class after being previously piloted to success by Bhawani Singh. The seasoned seven-year-old will be aiming for his sixth career win, further solidifying his reputation as a formidable contender.

With the late withdrawal of Coeur De Lion, the field for the Bangalore Turf Club Trophy has been reduced to just four runners. Among them, Dream Alliance emerges as the primary challenger to Charlie, promising an exciting contest.
