Neck Or Nothing is set to head to Cheltenham next month following his impressive racecourse bow at Punchestown last week.

Trained by Tom Hogan, the four-year-old was a three-length winner on his first attempt and is now scheduled to line up at Prestbury Park on November 17.

"He'll head to the Open meeting at Cheltenham in November for the Listed Bumper there, " said Hogan. "He's a very smart horse.

"We'd done very little with him before his debut, which was why I said he was only three-quarters fit. He's a very clean-winded horse, though, so he doesn't take much getting fit.

"He's a smashing big horse, he's only four so we're in no rush to go hurdling with him. He's a future chaser down the line anyway."
