Gold Cup contender makes a surprise entry into Stayers Hurdle Gold Cup challenger Champ made a surprise entry in the 51 inclusions for the Paddy Power Stayers Hurdle Chase at Cheltenham Festival.
After securing the RSA last campaign, the nine-year-old now holds an entry ahead of the Gold Cup with his trainer Nicky Henderson, who claimed he had considered sending the horse to a conditions hurdle as prep.
The race may turn out to be left for Thyme Hill and 2019 victor Paisley Park, who ended up second behind his rival in the Long Distance Hurdle but emerged as the victor in the Long Walk Hurdle, to decide the winner.

White-tailed deer filter into a food plot last weekend, January 9th, at about one hour prior to sunset. These deer were on private land in southern Marion County, IA. This author was there as an invited guest to assist in taking more doe deer off the property. So I did that by taking two on licenses I had available and ready to use. My two made a very small dent in the population in this area. The landowner has a good feel for the total number of deer in his forest. Hunters are a management tool to reduce deer numbers. Southern Iowa counties have historically large antlerless quota for deer tags available for purchase. Statewide total deer harvest numbers will easily exceed 110,00 by the end of regular season and even more will be added by the end of several special late January seasons in a few selected counties which are part of chronic wasting disease control efforts.

Brooke Wraa wasn t fond of the cold wind for Saturday s firearms deer hunting opener, but the 16-year-old hung in there long enough to get a 10-point buck.
Wraa, who lives in rural Leonard and was hunting in that area with family members, had earlier passed up an eight-point buck. She wanted to shoot something bigger than she shot last year, said her father, Steve, who also hunts with his wife, Julie, and daughters Lexi, 25, and Chelsey, 22.
One of my fondness memories of my teens was going to Broadway Square Mall, just down from Chick-Fil-A, and spending hours in the arcade on a Saturday afternoon. I d play everything from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to X-Men to Street Fighter to Final Fight and many more. Thanks to a company called Arcade1Up, you can have that arcade feel at home. They just announced a new batch of cabinets that has my wallet pretty nervous.

Arcade1Up has been around for a couple of years now. They started off with some simple arcade cabinets featuring various Atari, Midway and Capcom arcade classics. From there, Arcade1Up s popularity has exploded. They ve released classics from Pac-Man to four player cabinets featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games to the golf game Golden Tee to even gun games like Big Buck Hunter.
There has been a familiar âto me, to youâ pattern to the Triumph Hurdle since Tiger Roll won in 2014 as Ireland and England have traded top spot in the Festival juvenile contest ever since.
If that trend is to continue, the winner come 12 March will be trained in England and Saturdayâs Chepstow Finale winner Adagio is now at the front of the queue for the David Pipe team.
Pipeâs father Martin won the race twice, most recently in 1995 with Kissair, and the Pond House team have an improving sort on their hands.
His lone defeat in four starts over timber came at Cheltenham in November when second to Gordon Elliottâs Duffle Coat. The Irish trainer has the ante-post favourite Zanahiyr, a Grade 1 winner at Leopardstown over Christmas, but Pipe and Tom Scudamore will be feeling good about Adagio after the weekend.
