My Tent Or Yours confirmed his well-being ahead of the Stan James Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham with a pleasing workout at Seven Barrows.

Nicky Henderson said the dual Grade One winner has now recovered from a wound in the sole of a foot which had led to a slight concern over his participation in the big race on the opening day of the Festival.

Faugheen heads a seven-strong team from the Willie Mullins stable for the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham on Wednesday.

The six-year-old tops the betting for the two-mile five-furlong Grade One on the strength of a perfect record to date in three races over the smaller obstacles, plus a bumper and a point-to-point.

Al Ferof and Dynaste top a total of 21 possibles for Thursday's Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.

Al Ferof, a former Festival winner for Paul Nicholls in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle, has won one of his three outings this term, finishing a distant second in the Denman Chase on very testing ground at Newbury most recently.

Fallon hits Meydan heights.

Quote:

Former champion jockey Kieren Fallon was in cracking form at Meydan as he teamed up with Saeed Bin Suroor to land a double highlighted by the success of Prince Bishop in the Group One Al Maktoum Challenge Round Three.

The seven-year-old (5-1), winner of Round Two last time, burst through to lead inside the final furlong and take the honours by a length and a quarter from Sanshaawes, with Surfer third and Cat O'Mountain fourth.

Shea Shea put up a scintillating display under a great ride from Christophe Soumillon as he lifted the Group Three Meydan Sprint in Dubai for the second successive year.

Soumillon took a gamble as he switched Mike de Kock's speedster from stall six in the centre of the course to the near-side rail.

Cheltenham team monitor ground.

Quote:

Cheltenham clerk of the course Simon Claisse has refused to rule out the prospect of watering for the final two days of the Festival.

Following one of the wettest winters on record, it seems remarkable the taps may be turned on at Prestbury Park, but that is a possibility as the ground is drying up and there is no rain forecast for the coming days.

Countrywide Flame gave John Quinn one of his biggest wins to date when landing the JCB Triumph Hurdle back in 2012 and, two years on, the Yorkshire-based trainer has two leading chances in Pearl Castle and Rutherglen.

The Paul Gaffney-owned Pearl Castle has enjoyed a good start to his career over obstacles, with two wins and a third from his first three races.

The New One attempts to enhance his excellent course record when he goes for the Stan James Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham on Tuesday.

The six-year-old has saved his very best efforts for the Prestbury Park circuit, winning four of his six starts there, and was arguably most impressive when showing scintillating acceleration to win the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle at last year's Festival.

Jason Maguire will miss the Cheltenham Festival after he suffered a fractured sternum and bleeding on his liver in a fall at Stratford on Monday.

The Grand National-winning jockey was partnering the John Quinn-trained Scots Gaelic in a two-mile handicap hurdle when he was unseated at the second flight and was kicked in the stomach by another horse.
