Joseph O'Brien could field two runners at Cheltenham on Saturday after entering both Lord Justice and Zig Zag in the JCB Triumph Trial Juvenile Hurdle.

Zig Zag was last seen when chasing home stablemate Landofhopeandglory at Punchestown last month, with that gelding having gone on to secure Grade Three glory at Fairyhouse on Sunday.

Lord Justice has won two of his three starts over hurdles to date, with the Zoffany gelding having finished only third at Down Royal last time.

The two-mile heat has drawn a strong home-trained entry with Philip Hobbs' Defi Du Seuil an impressive winner of a similar heat at the Open meeting last month, while Paul Nicholls' Cliffs Of Dover is a five-times winner over hurdles.
