Martin delays Benefficient Festival decision

Tony Martin is still undecided whether his Grade One winner Benefficient will run in the Neptune or the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle at next week’s Cheltenham Festival.

The six-year-old was a 50-1 winner of the Deloitte Novice Hurdle, beating the likes of Sous Les Cieux, Cash And Go and Captain Conan, all previous Grade One winners themselves.
