Den stakes Cheltenham claim

Den Of Iniquity put himself into the reckoning for a second trip to the Cheltenham Festival when making a winning start to his career over obstacles in the Ladbrokes Odds On Card – Loyalty Card Novices´ Hurdle at Folkestone.

Carl Llewellyn’s eight-year-old had been off the track since the 2007 Champion Bumper due to injury but was sent off the 15-8 joint-favourite to score on his first start over timber.
