Twiston-Davies’ stable star ready for Haydock Rush

The New One faces five rivals in the inaugural running of the £100,000 Betfair Price Rush Hurdle at Haydock this afternoon.

Nigel Twiston-Davies immediately mentioned the new race as the target for his stable star after he came through his first run of the season without a hitch at Kempton.

Considered by many to have finished an unlucky third in the Champion Hurdle in March, he is behind only Faugheen in the ante-post betting for this season’s renewal at Cheltenham.
