Franchoek on Cheltenham trail

Ante-post JCB Triumph Hurdle favourite Franchoek is likely to be seen in action this weekend – with Cheltenham’s Boylesports.com Best Odds Juvenile Novices’ Hurdle the favoured option.

Alan King has also handed the exciting youngster an entry in the Grade Two Summit Junior Hurdle at Lingfield – but the team look set to be represented by Russian Invader in that contest.
