Cheltenham Ground A Mighty Concern

Henry Daly is happy with leading Ladbrokes World Hurdle fancy Mighty Man ? but will be keeping a nervous eye on the weather in the build-up to the Cheltenham Festival.

The seven-year-old has not been seen since landing his first success at the highest level when fending off Lough Derg in the Long Walk Hurdle last December.

Daly's stable star had subsequent Cleeve Hurdle winner Blazing Bailey back in fourth that day and is as short as 9-2 with Coral for the three-mile championship.

And while the Shropshire handler has always stated his charge is not at his best on soft going, he will not rush into any decisions until the picture becomes clearer regarding the ground at Prestbury Park.

Daly said: 'He's fine and I simply don't know at the moment as it's just too far away to make our minds up.

'Everything's fine and we'll just have to see what the ground is like and then we'll see what happens.'
