Rooster among 14 declared for Champion Hurdle

Rooster Booster will face 13 rivals when defending his Smurfit Champion Hurdle crown on Tuesday after Flame Creek, Spirit Leader and Sporazene were pulled out at the final 48-hour declaration stage.

Flame Creek was ruled out after ´scoping dirty´, while Jessica Harrington has not been happy with Spirit Leader´s work recently. Sporazene may run in the County Hurdle on Thursday.
