Published at Feb 24, 2010, 14:27

Dunguib heads 66 horses standing their ground at the latest forfeit stage for the Spinal Research Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham.

Last year's Weatherbys Champion Bumper hero, trained by Philip Fenton, is unbeaten over hurdles and is seen as one of the bankers of the meeting.

Although he is still in the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle, Dunguib is expected to line-up instead in the race that opens the four-day Festival on March 16.
