Trainer Philip Fenton has stated that his Dunguib is to run in Friday's Rabobank Champion Hurdle at the Punchestown festival, where he is set to take on Hurricane Fly, Solwhit and Punjabi.

"We're going to let him take his chance in Friday's race rather than Tuesday's, (the novice hurdle)" said Fenton on Sunday. "I hear they have done a marvellous job with the watering up there and we've more chance of getting rain between now and Friday than between now and Tuesday."
