Asian Maze and No Refuge head Cleeve Hurdle entries

IRISH mare Asian Maze and Howard Johnson’s No Refuge head the 18 entries for the Byrne Bros Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham on Saturday.

Tom Mullins' seven-year-old has not been seen since recording impressive wins at both the Aintree and Punchestown Festivals.

No Refuge side-stepped an engagement at Lingfield last weekend and could be joined in the line-up by stable companion Royal Rosa, who has not run since finishing third in the Rendlesham Hurdle at Kempton last February.
