Lad a possibility for Champion Hurdle

Limestone Lad remains a possible for the AIG Europe Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown following a racecourse gallop at Gowran Park today.

Connections are considering the €130,000 event on Sunday week for the 11-year-old winner of 35 races, as well as the Bank Of Ireland Hurdle a day earlier at Naas. Limestone Lad has won that two-and-a-half mile event for the last three years.
