Barry Geraghty anticipates stern test for returning Hargam

Barry Geraghty does not think the returning Hargam faces an easy task in the Masterson Holdings Hurdle at Cheltenham today.

The Nicky Henderson-trained four-year-old was right up there with the best juvenile hurdlers last season but, unfortunately for him, he was only third best from his own yard come Triumph Hurdle day.

Henderson was lucky enough to saddle the first three home and the rain that arrived was all against the grey as he had to give best to Peace And Co and Top Notch.
