Tony Martin revealed at Naas this afternoon that a decision on which race Bog Warrior will run in at Cheltenham has yet to be made.

The 9yo son of Strategic Choice is entered in both the World Hurdle and the Gold Cup.

Martin said after the win of the Dedigout this afternoon: “He is still in both races. He is in good order and I’m still waiting on the phone call to see which race he will run in.

"Hopefully he will travel over well and he will run unless the ground goes against him."
