Whiskey among Relkeel ten There will be no Irish representative in the Unicoin Homes Relkeel Hurdle at Cheltenham on Saturday where Oscar Whisky is the star among 10 entries. Nicky Henderson's six-year-old finished third in the Champion Hurdle last March and looked set to give subsequent Fighting Fifth winner Overturn a run for his money on his return at Ascot before falling at the last. Henderson has stated his desire to avoid a clash with Big Buck's before the World Hurdle at the Festival, which would mean he is far more likely to take up this engagement rather than wait for the Long Walk at Ascot a week later. David Pipe has entered Dynaste, who was a most impressive winner over the fixed brush hurdles at Haydock, and his novice chasing career has been delayed to see what heights he can reach over hurdles first. Paul Nicholls has entered The Knoxs, owned by Graham Wylie, an impressive winner back over hurdles on his first start for the yard. Donald McCain has entered Any Given Day, second to Karabak last season, and Drill Sergeant. Sparky May, Get Me Out Of Here, Zanir, Cockney Trucker and The Jigsaw Man complete the entries.
