Supreme big guns stand firm
Captain Cee Bee, Muirhead and Khyber Kim are still engaged in the Anglo Irish Bank Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham next week.
The well-fancied trio appear among the list of 42 horses confirmed for the Festival curtain-raiser at the six-day stage.
Other well-fancied contenders still involved include Fiveforthree, Pigeon Island, Rippling Ring and Sentry Duty.
Ashkazar, Binocular and Five Dream bolster a strong four-year-old entry completed by Lemon Silk and Squadron.
There were no shock defections from the extended two-mile Grade One heat, but a number of those prominent in the ante-post markets have other options at the four-day Festival.
