Silviniaco set for Cheltenham test Silviniaco Conti will run in the StanJames.com International Hurdle at Cheltenham next month. Paul Nicholls' four-year-old impressed when winning the Coral Ascot Hurdle on Saturday and connections initially mooted a winter break following the win. However, the Ditcheat handler has now decided to drop him in trip to two miles and one furlong at Cheltenham's International meeting next month. "I tweeted on the way back from Aintree yesterday afternoon that I was considering going for the Bula (International) at Cheltenham next month - and I can reveal, that all being well, that is where he will go next," Nicholls said in his column at www.betfair.com/paulnicholls. "I have to give him a chance to stake a Champion Hurdle claim after Saturday's win." Sky Bet cut Silviniaco Conti to 10-1 for the Champion Hurdle on Monday morning.
