Tommy Lyons: Top Notch worth a punt in the Cheltenham Triumph Hurdle

Top Notch represents a good value bet in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham, writes Tommy Lyons.

Although he's the apparent third string for trainer Nicky Henderson, he looks the right type for this race, and his willingness to give generously in a battle can have right in there, pitching at the end.

He's not the most imposing of animals - hurdling is likely to always be his game and he has already picked up plenty of experience with two runs in France and three since joining Henderson, remaining unbeaten.
