Big guns stand ground for World hurdle

Inglis Drever and Black Jack Ketchum head the 21 acceptors for the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at the confirmation stage.

The winner of the 2005 renewal, Inglis Drever has returned from a lengthy absence this season and proved he is as good as ever with a battling victory at Newbury before chasing home Blazing Bailey in the Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham, giving the winner 8lb.
