Canyon heads Stayers dozen
Nichols Canyon and Lil Rockerfeller will renew rivalry in Thursday's Ladbrokes Champion Stayers Hurdle at Punchestown.
Just three-quarters of a length separated the pair in the Sun Bets Stayers' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival with Nichols Canyon landing the feature on his first time over three-miles and he is the favourite to complete the double on Thursday.
Trainer Willie Mullins is responsible for four of the 12 runners in the field with Shaneshill, Clondaw Warrior and Footpad joining Nichols Canyon, while Lil Rockerfeller will make the trip from Neil King's yard in Wiltshire.
Unowhatimeanharry was sent off the hot favourite at Cheltenham but he could only manage third and he will be looking for an improved performance at the County Kildare venue.
Gordon Elliott will saddle Sutton Place, De Plotting Shed, Jury Duty and Lieutenant Colonel as he looks to maintain his advantage in the trainers' championship.
One Track Mind landed the Grade 1 last year for Warren Greatrex and he will return to bid for the double, while Snow Falcon has stood his ground for Noel Meade.
