Cheltenham countdown - news digest

Cheltenham preview - Part one

Khyber Kim (FSF 132) made an excellent start to his hurdling career at Newbury. Jumping and travelling well, he ran on in fine style on the run in, having gone on two hurdles from home. He recorded an exceptional FSF figure for a debutant and with improvement almost certain to follow the future looks bright. Given his injury history, I understand there is a concern over the undulations at Prestbury Park, though an entry in the Champion Hurdle displays the regard he is held in.
