Native warming to Champion task

Noel Meade plans to shortly bring Go Native back to the boil for a crack at the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle – and with it the chance to grab a £1m (€1.1m) bonus.

Go Native is just one victory away from scooping the seven-figure amount for his connections after taking the first two legs of the WBX Hurdling Triple Crown - the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle and the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton.
