Specular gamble on Champion Hurdle The spectacular pre race gamble on Specular - as yet unraced on British soil - doesn´t look like relenting yet as William Hills cut Jonjo O´Neill´s charge in to be the 7-1 fourth favourite for the Champion Hurdle. Quoted at 20-1 with Hills on Boxing Day, Specular is set to justify the punters faith in the Red Square Champion Hurdle trial tomorrow at Haydock, where he meets the current ante post favourite and reigning champion Rooster Booster.
