Balding considers Briareus options

Andrew Balding has revealed his Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle sixth Briareus could next be seen at Liverpool in the Scottish And Newcastle Aintree Hurdle on April 8.

The six-year-old had to be supplemented for the Cheltenham race at a cost of £17,000 (€24,500) and despite getting outpaced coming down the hill, Balding was encouraged with the way he was staying on towards the finish.
