Terrific Tent comes out fighting.

Quote:
My Tent Or Yours enhanced his Champion Hurdle claims with an impressive victory in the StanJames.com Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle.

The Nicky Henderson-trained six-year-old was promoted to 7-2 favourite by the sponsors for the Cheltenham championship event in March after his three-length victory over John Quinn's grand mare Cockney Sparrow, with another two and a half lengths back to the returning Grumeti.

Henderson and champion jockey Tony McCoy had not enjoyed the best of luck in this race in the past, with Binocular sent off a short-priced favourite three years in a row but failing to win the Grade One.

The New One cemented his Champion Hurdle claims with victory in a dramatic renewal of the StanJames.com International Hurdle at Cheltenham.

Sam Twiston-Davies was content to bid his time on his father Nigel's five-year-old, and it was a game of cat and mouse from the top of the hill as old rival Zarkandar led, with the 2-5 favourite poised on the inside rail on the long run to the last.

Coming to four out, Noel Fehily's mount did not really attack the fence and sent the birch flying, but after that his jumping was safe and he had far too much class on the short run-in for his remaining rival, Lindsay's Dream. In the end he won going away, coming home comfortably clear at odds of 1-10.
