Clopf holds 'fighting' chance
Clopf will join compatriots Jazz Messenger and Harchibald in the line-up for the wbx.com “Fighting Fifth” Hurdle at Newcastle on Saturday.
Edward O'Grady’s Irish raider was considered a live Champion Hurdle contender in some quarters but could only finish fourth of seven in the Maplewood Developments Hurdle at Punchestown this month.
