Cheltenham Race 5 - Unibet Champion Hurdle Challenge Trophy (Grade 1) (Gbb Race)

With a number of conspicuous absences three-time Festival heroine LOSSIEMOUTH (9) could become just the seventh mare to land the prestigious prize. Best judged on her dual G1 Mares' Hurdle victories rather than a sub-par second in the G1 Irish Champion Hurdle last time after which excuses were made. Leading contender. THE NEW LION (4) represents the main danger having been unbeaten as a novice while impressively winning the G1 Baring Bingham at this meeting last year. Not entirely convincing when victorious in the G2 International Hurdle here in January by 1.5L. BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD (7) endured defeats both Cheltenham starts to date. Cannot be discounted. Surprise winner last season GOLDEN ACE (8) holds place claims.

Comments

Last run favourite; raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 1.3 len Wincanton in a G2 Kingwell Hurdle on February 14 over 3000m on heavy going defeating Rubaud carrying 73.5kg at $1.50 in a jumps. The start before that; finished third of 13 runners at Ascot on December 20 over 3100m, 4 len behind Wilful carrying 76kg at $3.10. Find this unsuitable. Going well, but a big career best needed.

Freshened for 37 days. Last run finished fourth in a small field at Leopardstown in the G1 Irish Champion Hurdle on February 1 over 3218m, on a wet track; 14 len behind Brighterdaysahead with 75.5kg at $9. The run before finished fourth of 8 starters at Leopardstown in the G1 December Hurdle on December 29 over 3218m, 6 len behind Lossiemouth carrying 75.5kg at $7. Has a bit to find with a number of these adopting first time tongue tie.

Fresh up after eight months finished third in a small field at Leopardstown in the G1 Irish Champion Hurdle on February 1 over 3218m, in the wet; 14 len behind Brighterdaysahead carrying 75.5kg at $34.

Only fourth outing over hurdles, so improvement not ruled out.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming fell at Newcastle in the G1 Fighting Fifth Hurdle Race on November 29 over 3400m. Second-up raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 1.5 len this track in a G2 International Hurdle on January 24 over 3400m slow track defeating Nemean Lion carrying 73kg at $3.30 in a jumps. Fitter now and making headway every start. A fall in the Fighting Fifth the only blip on his record, big claims.

Second-up today. Fresh up after two months won by 15 len Newbury on February 7 over 3300m on heavy going defeating Wellington Arch carrying 76kg at $4.30 in a hurdle. Previously second-up won by 3 len Newbury on November 29 over 3300m slow track defeating Indeevar Bleu carrying 70.5kg at $3.10 in a hurdle. Fitter for run.
