Tea For Two to stay in novice company rather then go for World Hurdle

Tea For Two produced a visually exceptional display at Kempton on Saturday when he turned the William Hill Lanzarote Hurdle into nothing more than a routine canter.

Always handy under in-form Lizzie Kelly and soon disputing matters with Kilcooley, the unexposed Tea For Two travelled particularly well and jumped to the lead four from home.

One or two loomed as though they might get within striking distance, but those hopes were swiftly extinguished as the Nick Williams-trained winner went further and further clear.
