The Unibet Mares' Hurdle will be a match race between Laurina and Sensulano after Got Away and Smaoineamh Alainn were declared non-runners this morning.

 

Bookmakers have Laurina a general 1-10 chance.

Laurina now 7/2 for the Champion Hurdle after her Listed Mares' Hurdle win

 

Elixir De Nutz put in a gutsy display to make all in the Tolworth Hurdle. He's now 10/1 for the Supreme Hurdle.

Ruth Jefferson has confirmed that Waiting Patiently will be aimed at the Ryanair Chase.

 

Looks like Welsh Grand National winner Elegant Escape will head straight to the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

 

Could run a lot better than many think, especially if it comes up soft again.

JLT favourite Master Dino out for the year after sustaining leg fracture.

Samcro is likely to miss the Cheltenham Festival. Thought he might as he has been disappointing this season.

A look at the entries for the Cheltenham Gold Cup:

Irish authorities say message is 'not getting through'

Apple’s Jade will definitely run in the BHP Insurance Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown but it is highly unlikely she will run in the Unibet Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham. More likely to go for the Mares Hurdle. Shame.

Altior aims to make it seventeen straight victories today,.only two opponents though in the Grade 1 at Ascot.

Bot Hereford and Catterick were abandoned today due to frozen ground.

 

Cracksman and Winx have tied for the title of best Flat horse in the world for 2018.

Impressive performance for Presenting Percy to win The Galmoy Hurdle, I’d personally want to see him have a run in a chase before the Gold Cup.

Invitation Only denied Alpha Des Obeaux to land the Goffs Thyestes Chase for Ruby Walsh, Willie Mullins and owners Andrea and Graham Wylie.

Andy Dufresne into 10/1 for the Champion Bumper after putting in a smooth performance at Down Royal.

The Champion Hurdle got a lot more interesting as it seems Apple's Jade may well head there and not the mares' race after a facile win at Leopardstown.

Australian trainer Darren Weir faces a ban of four years after deciding not to contest charges brought against him for the possession of equipment used to deliver electric shocks to horses.
