Champ, the Grade 1 winner replaced in places as favourite for Saturday's Ballymore Novices' Hurdle by stablemate Birchdale, is still in contention for the Cheltenham contest, the pair's trainer Nicky Henderson said on Tuesday afternoon.

Tom Segal’s Ballymore tip is out tomorrow and with that in mind and being in a good position in this race having the first two in the market covered i’ve backed both Birchdale and Jarveys Plate at 20/1 with 365. Depending on how the race goes on Saturday and if both run may look to cash one out. Been meaning to cover these 2 and don’t want TS to ruin the price.

Segal has put up City Island (1pt each way at 33/1)

And in the trainer quotes in the same article Mouse Morris says he favours Sam’s Profile coming here over the Albert Bartlett

“He’s going to Naas on Feb 9th and then we’ll take things from there. His owner sponsors the Ballymore and they’d like to have a runner so he’ll get an entry”

Had it in my mind that Sam's profile wouldn't come over for the Festival , so pleased to see that F_M.

"The champ" does need to go again.
Why not run them both and see if birchdale gives him a hiding on the track aswell as at home.

If birchdale runs on Sat and when he beats jarveys plate etc.... He should be fav. Because he'd have done more than "the champ"

Would love to see them both run so Champ can send Birchdale packing to handicaps with Rathill.

Good luck with that.
