Iberico Lord, the JP McManus-owned sensation, has been added to the lineup for the Unibet Champion Hurdle, enhancing the excitement surrounding the prestigious race. Here’s why this addition is causing a stir:
Following the withdrawal of stablemate Constitution Hill, Iberico Lord steps into the spotlight with a £18,000 supplement, signaling confidence in his abilities.
With the promise of softer ground on Tuesday, compared to his original Friday engagement in the County Hurdle, Iberico Lord’s connections seize the opportunity to maximize his potential.
Boasting a 3-7 record over hurdles, Iberico Lord has already secured victories at notable races, including the Greatwood Hurdle at Cheltenham and the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury, both on challenging ground conditions.
Words from Henderson
Trainer Nicky Henderson praises Iberico Lord’s continuous improvement, highlighting his affinity for soft ground, a favorable factor for Tuesday’s conditions.
