The selection clocked a good time in victory last time out and can land the Grade One event at Newbury
There are few Grade One races without at least one no-hoper in the field but this year’s Challow Hurdle at Newbury can make that claim, as all seven runners go to post after an impressive win last time out.
Champ, from the Nicky Henderson stable, is the likely favourite having giving more than a stone to the next three home when successful in a strong handicap at Newbury last time. Whether that makes him a worthy 6-4 chance in a race as deep as this is another question, however, and several opponents do not have much to find to give him a serious race.
