Burdett Road might now miss the Champion Hurdle and run in the County instead.

Unfortunately, having done so well to go straight to the Greatwood off 133, I really don't think they did the horse any favours by going to Kempton for the Christmas Hurdle.

They got third place prize money, but I'd say that's scant compensation for the further 8lb hike that came with it.

Burdett Road is now 17lb higher than when winning the Greatwood and I've got a feeling 150 is as good as he is over hurdles.
