Quote:
Richard Hughes and Joseph O'Brien, reigning champion Flat jockeys in Britain and Ireland respectively, have been granted jumps licences to ride in the Weatherbys Champion Bumper at Cheltenham on Wednesday.
The British Horseracing Authority approved Hughes's application, while the Irish Turf Club has given O'Brien permission to compete at the Festival.
Hughes is set to partner Sgt Reckless for trainer Mick Channon, with O'Brien aboard Shield for his father Aidan.
