Philip Fenton is considering running talented novice Dunguib in the Rabobank Champion Hurdle at the Punchestown Festival.

The seven-year-old was sent off at odds-on to maintain his unbeaten record over obstacles in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham but could only finish third behind Menorah.

While he could again line up against the novices in the Evening Herald Champion Novice Hurdle three days earlier, Fenton admits the big one on April 23rd is tempting.

"Dunguib is in great form, absolutely bouncing," said Fenton.

"We have two options for Punchestown and are not ruling out the Champion Hurdle on the Friday.

"It is not as strong a race as you might expect so we will have a close look at it before making a decision."
