TENT TOPS SUPREME FIELD.

Ante-post favourite My Tent Or Yours will face 11 rivals in the William Hill Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham on Tuesday.

Nicky Henderson's six-year-old obliterated a field of top-drawer handicappers in last month's Betfair Hurdle at Newbury and with Tony McCoy on board, he is going to be a warm order to claim the Festival curtain-raiser.

Leading owner JP McManus has a formidable hand, with My Tent Or Yours joined by Jessica Harrington's Irish raider Jezki, unbeaten in four starts over obstacles.
SACRE LEADS QUEEN MOTHER CONTENDERS.

Sprinter Sacre and Sizing Europe are the star names among seven declared runners in the Sportingbet Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham.

Last year's Arkle hero Sprinter Sacre remains unbeaten in seven starts over fences, having barely come off the bridle in winning the Tingle Creek and Victor Chandler Chases so far this season.

Nicky Henderson's seven-year-old will be long odds-on to notch another Grade One triumph on Wednesday, but the presence of former champion Sizing Europe does at least add some spice to the race.
FLY 'IN GREAT FORM' FOR CHAMPION.

Willie Mullins could not be happier with Hurricane Fly as his stable star bids to regain his crown in the Stan James Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham on Tuesday.

A winner of no less than 14 Grade One prizes, the nine-year-old is one of the most prolific two-mile hurdlers of the last decade.

However, he arguably returns to Prestbury Park with something to prove, having suffered a shock odds-on reverse when only third 12 months ago behind the reopposing Rock On Ruby.

Although he has looked as good as ever in winning each of his three starts this season, most recently securing a third victory in the Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown in January, many bookmakers have been keen to take on the deposed champion.
For those interested in Cheltenham here is a excellent site to try to help you pick some winners.
