Scottish Champion attracts strong entry My Tent Or Yours and The New One are among a classy entry of 55 for the QTS Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr on April 12. Second and third behind Jezki in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham, both camps felt they had excuses with My Tent Or Yours refusing to settle and The New One being hampered by the fall of Our Conor. Throwing further spice into the mix is Willie Mullins' Un De Sceaux, who heads to France this weekend. There are several classy novices engaged including Irving, who disappointed in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle, Josses Hill, who was placed in the same race, Sgt Reckless, who was just behind, and Arctic Fire, second in the County Hurdle. Smart four-year-olds like Fred Winter runner-up Katgary and John Quinn's Pearl Castle and Rutherglen may also run. Grumeti, Get Me Out Of Here, Flaxen Flare, Court Minstrel and Peter Niven's rapidly-improving Clever Cookie add further strength in depth. Wicklow Brave, Lac Fontana, Cheltenian, Cockney Sparrow and Volnay De Thaix are other interesting contenders.
