The Willie Mullins-trained five-year-old impresses at Punchestown and sees price cut for next March’s feature

Seen as the leading threat to Constitution Hill and Honeysuckle in the Champion Hurdle, Betfair and Paddy Power trimmed State Man into 6-1 from 8s for the Festival showpiece, but Coral were more impressed in going 4-1 from the same price.

“He was nicely keen in behind Saldier, he got a good lead and did everything that was asked. Thankfully all the hurdles were left in and he got a bit of practice because he needed it. “I think there is plenty of improvement left in him. Looking at that I don’t think Henry [de Bromhead], Michael Buckley [Constitution Hill’s owner] or Nicky Henderson will be too worried, but we’re going to improve too and I think he is the horse that has improvement in him.”“She’s obviously going to Fairyhouse [Hatton’s Grace] and we won’t go there. I don’t know whether we’ll meet before the Champion Hurdle. Hopefully we’ll all get there, that’s the main thing.
