Celestial Haloset to enhance Champion Hurdle claims

I AM more than hopeful Celestial Halo can give his Champion Hurdle prospects a big boost by winning at Sandown this afternoon.

I have always liked him and think he’s a good horse. You can argue his score so far over flights is only two from five, but there was little disgrace in being beaten by Sentry Duty and twice by Binocular.

I schooled Celestial Halo during the week and was delighted with him, he really looks great right now and seems to be at the peak of his powers.
