Go Native is the current 7/2 favourite on Betfred and heads a 12-strong field for Tuesday’s showpiece Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.
Noel Meade’s seven-year-old is well fancied in the race but faces stiff competition from Nicky Henderson’s trio of hopes, with Punjabi (7/1)going for a second successive victory.
Binocular (7/1) also makes the final line-up despite earlier concerns over his fitness while Henderson’s final charge, Zaynar, is also thought to be in with a big chance (8/1).
Solwhit (5/1) has recovered from a dirty scope while Jumbo Rio, Won In The Dark and Raise Your Heart all travel over from Ireland for the race.
2009 runner-up Celestial Halo and trio Khyber Kim, Merdermit and Starluck make up the field.
Check out all the odds for the big race.
