State Man will be very hard to beat in the Paddy Power Champion Hurdle at Punchestown today if he doesn't show any ill effects from Cheltenham.
Willie Mullins has a very strong hand on the race with Sharjah and Vauban. I thought Sharjah ran very well over two and a half miles at Aintree when second to Constitution Hill and he is probably the biggest danger to State Man.
But I'd be very surprised if State Man doesn't get back to winning ways.
