Lorna Fowler remains "hopeful" stable star Colonel Mustard will be fit for next week's Cheltenham Festival despite suffering an overreach in the Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso on Saturday.
The eight-year-old finished third behind Champion Hurdle aspirant State Man and the high-class First Street in the County Hurdle 12 months ago and connections are keen to have another crack at the fiercely-competitive handicap from only 3lb higher in the weights.
