Open Day books Cheltenham ticket

Open Day will head to Cheltenham next month for the Fred Winter Juvenile Novices' Handicap Hurdle after notching consecutive wins under champion jockey Tony McCoy at Sandown.

There were clues a big run may have been on the cards thanks to the presence of his owner JP McManus, and the recent Market Rasen winner was backed from 6s into 4-1 favouritism for the Finmeccanica Battlespace Solutions Juvenile Novices' Hurdle.
