Big test for Jonjo’s hotshots
O'Neill is responsible for the brilliant novice Rhinestone Cowboy and the established star Intersky Falcon in the £300,000 showpiece.
He won the Champion Hurdle twice as a jockey on jumping greats Sea Pigeon (1980) and Dawn Run (1984). Winter went one better as a jockey before going on to win it four times as a trainer, the last of which was Celtic Shot in 1988, ridden by Peter Scudamore, whose son, Tom, rides Iberus, one of three runners for Martin Pipe in tomorrow's renewal.
