Solwhit will travel to Prestbury Park

Solwhit, one of the leading fancies for Tuesday's Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle, will travel over to England after scoping clean on Saturday morning.

His participation was thrown into some doubt when trainer Charles Byrnes revealed the five-time Grade One winner had started coughing earlier in the week.

However, Byrnes is satisfied that the six-year-old is well enough to take his chance and he will leave for Prestbury Park later today.

'I've made a decision and he's travelling over. He scoped clean earlier this morning so he will travel over tonight but obviously we will be monitoring him closely,' said Byrnes.
