Keighley fires two darts at Cross Country Martin Keighley is set to be double-handed in Friday's Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase after confirming Any Currency and Champion Court as intended runners at Cheltenham. Any Currency is a regular over the banks at Prestbury Park, having run in the last seven races held over the unique obstacles. The 12-year-old won at last year's International meeting in December and has been runner-up at the last two Festivals, going down by a short-head to Balthazar King in 2014 and finding Rivage D'Or two and a quarter lengths too strong last season. Champion Court is due to make his cross-country debut, but has won three times at Cheltenham. Keighley said: "Any Currency and Champion Court both schooled over the cross-country fences at Cheltenham on Thursday and will run next week. "Champion Court took to it amazingly well and jumped like a stag. We popped him over a few of the tricky ones, including the cheese wedges and white rails, and I was delighted. He has always been a good jumper and we just want to try something different because he has shot up in the handicap. "We know Any Currency stays the trip well and that is the big question mark with Champion Court. The course is very twisty and turny but they don't go very quick or get racing until late on, so he might be fine." Any Currency and Champion Court are among 22 entries, with the Willie Mullins-trained veteran Uncle Junior, Paul Nicholls' Sire Collonges and Enda Bolger's trio of Colour Squadron, Quantitativeeasing and Josies Orders all in contention.
