Inglis Drever the new favourite for World Hurdle

AS the rains continue to fall on the sacred Cheltenham turf, 2005 hero Inglis Drever has usurped Black Jack Ketchum at the head of Betfair’s exchange market for the Ladbrokes World Hurdle.

Having been considered the banker of the meeting for so many, doubt has been thrown on the participation of the latter as prospects of a soft-ground Festival continue to strengthen due to the inclement weather.

Inglis Drever now trades at around the 4-1 mark on the exchange, with Black Jack Ketchum drifting to around 9-2.
