Tony Bloom's Ile Atlantique is "95% sure" to line up in the Baring Bingham Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, after a weekend where more clues were on offer in the novice hurdling division.
The Brighton supremo has seen his flagship horse Energumene land the Queen Mother Champion Chase the past two years, while Penhill is another to carry Bloom's blue and white silks to success at Prestbury Park, in both 2017 and 2018.
