Paul Townend will ride Quevega in tomorrow's feature at Punchestown, The ladbrokes.com World Series Hurdle, rather than stablemates Mourad and Cousin Vinny.

Quevega is likely to start favourite in her bid to emulate Fiveforthree which won the race for the stable last year.

Fifteen have been declared for the Grade 1 contest including three cross-channel raiders, Bensalem, Karabak and Kayf Aramis. War Of Attrition set to contest today'sGuinness Gold Cup, have also been declared for tomorrow's race, but must be considered an unlikely runner.
