Blazing Khal’s Cheltenham Festival bid in the balance

Blazing Khal won all of his three hurdle races last season, with his last two coming at Cheltenham. He was an impressive winner of the Grade Two Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle at Prestbury Park last December. However, he suffered a setback soon after and has still to make his belated return. Ballingary handler, who won the Stayers” HURTLE with Solwhit in 2013, said Blazing Khal will be out for another three or four weeks before he's out again.

Blazing Khal’s Cheltenham Festival bid is in the balance. Recommended bets are advised to over-18s. National Gambling Helpline / GamCare is on 0808 8020 133.

Punchestown Saturday review: Saint Sam denies Any Second Now

Reverting to hurdles having been highly tried as a novice chaser last season, the Willie Mullins-trained five-year-old was soon in an early advantage and it was one he would not relinquish. A trait of his time over fences was that he raced keenly, sometimes too keenly for his own good, and while he was racing enthusiastically for Paul Townend, the…
