Boylesports make Ruby Walsh a 66/1 chance to win the four feature races, Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle, Seasons Holidays Queen Mother Champion Chase, Ladbrokes World Hurdle and totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup, at the Cheltenham Festival 2010.
Only the Champion Hurdle evaded Paul Nicholls’ stable jockey last season when he rode a record seven winners over the four days.
He was second in the race, aboard Celestial Halo, his likely ride this time around. Nicholls is 25/1 with Boylesports to win the ‘big four’ in March.
“Ruby and Paul are quite simply a dream team at the moment,” said Boylesports spokesman Leon Blanche. They have the best horses around and already look to have three of the Festival bankers in Master Minded, Big Buck’s and Kauto Star. Celestial Halo was only touched off in the Champion last year and it would be no surprise to see him go one better and power up the hill he clearly loves.”
