Blazing Khal (evens) tipped by fromthehorsesmouth.info won the Grade 2 Albert Bartlett Novice Hurdle over 2m 7f at Cheltenham on Saturday, under Donal McInerney: “He was a lot slicker early on today,” said McInerney.

“He put down at the second last, but everyday is a learning day for him, and hopefully he will come back here in March and be as good as he can be.

“There’s no end to his stamina, after the second last he took off and I still got there too soon. He’s very good and I’m very lucky to be riding the likes of him,” he added.
