Limestone Lad ready for Stayers' Challenge

Connections of Limestone Lad, arguably the most popular National Hunt horse in training, are delighted with their charge as he prepares to take on the mighty Baracouda in the Bonusprint Stayers’ Hurdle this afternoon.

The race has been billed as one of the great showdowns of this year’s Cheltenham Festival as Limestone Lad bids to wrench the title from Francois Doumen’s French ace.
