Solwhit wins Rabobank Champion Hurdle

Solwhit is set to bid for Champion Hurdle glory at the Cheltenham Festival next season after his gutsy victory at Punchestown.

The five-year-old secured the first Grade One prize of his career when winning the Aintree Hurdle over two and a half miles last month but showed a drop to the minimum trip to be no barrier to success in the Rabobank Champion Hurdle.
