KILBRICKEN STORM is 5-2 favourite with Unibet to claim the Grade One Challow Hurdle at Newbury today (3.00).

And after an easy success in Grade Two company last time, the Colin Tizzard charge deserves to step up to this class. Certainly his credential­s for the Festival will be much clearer after today’s showpiece.

Yanworth has a few questions to answer but is 5lb better off with the favourite this time.

Ballyandy, not seen since September, is the fly in the ointment. But hailing from a yard that enjoy winners for fun at the course, 9-2 could be generous odds.
