Nichols Canyon ended Faugheen's unbeaten run in the Morgiana Hurdle as he fended off the late charge from his stablemate.

As a racing fan first and foremost this was a surprise result, but as a punter it is a blessing in disguise, bookies pricing faugheen at 2/1 for the champion hurdle is a steal. Vautour lost at leapordstown at 1/4 in december last year, he then went on to produce the best performance of the festival 3 months later.....come the big day in march faugheen will put this right
