Menorah was an impressive winner of Saturday's International Hurdle at Cheltenham and now trades as joint favourite for the Champion at the Festival in March.

In a race that was always going to cause a shake up in the market for the Champion Hurdle, last year's Supreme winner Menorah was eventually sent off as favourite against his year-younger rivals Cue Card and Silviniaco Conti and didn't disappoint his backers.

Although Cue Card looked to be going just as well at one point, Menorah responded when asked by Richard Johnson early in the straight and romped away up the hill for a four-and-a-half length victory.

Menorah is now disputing favouritism with Nicky Henderson's Binocular for the two-mile showpiece at Cheltenham in March, with the pair currently trading at [5.5].
