Adopted Hero put himself firmly in the picture for the JCB Triumph Hurdle with a stylish success in the Chatteris Fen Juvenile Novices’ Hurdle at Huntingdon yesterday.

Edredon Bleu will be the star of the show at Wincanton on Thursday when the evergreen 12-year-old has what will probably be his last run of the season in the Betfair Chase.
