 Long Walk Hurdle The Long Walk Hurdle is a Grade 1 National Hunt horse race in the United Kingdom for four-year-old and above horses.

Third in the World Hurdle at the Festival last March behind My Way De Solzen, he turned the tables in no uncertain terms at Aintree the following month when beating the same rival by seven lengths to put him at the top of the staying hurdling tree.

He reappeared this season with a satisfactory run behind dual Champion Hurdler Hardy Eustace over an inadequate trip trying to concede 8lb.

However, Mighty Man was made to fight all the way to the line as Loch Derg put in some sterling work to close to within a length and a quarter.

Daly said: "That was nerve- wracking.

"He is better on good ground and found that a bit difficult so I am praying that Cheltenham don't turn the taps on."
