Nemean Lion to run in Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival

The seven-year-old has had a successful campaign so far, which began in October when he won the Welsh Champion Hurdle by a length and a half on debut.

Jonbon on course for clash with El Fabiolo in Champion Chase at Cheltenham

For a horse who has won 12 of his 15 races under rules, the Seven Barrows handler also reads nothing into the fact that all three of his defeats have come at Cheltenham. Stablemate Constitution Hill beat him in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle two years ago, while El Fabiolo saw him off in the Arkle last term. Most recently, in a performance littered…

Racing opinion: Is the Mares' Hurdle the right race for Honeysuckle?

Racing opinion: Is the Mares' Hurdle the right race for Honeysuckle?

No, I can't accept this is the'right call' unfortunately. I've never owned a racehorse so I'm possibly going to come across a little insensitive here, but I'm not sure I appreciate some of the rhetoric around this nine-year-old mare with 18 career starts to her name. Once connections start using phrases such as'wishing to mind her' and seemingly…
