The stanjames.com Champion Hurdle Trial at Haydock on January 23 has emerged as the next target for Peace And Co.

Nicky Henderson's Triumph Hurdle winner has questions to answer after his seasonal reappearance at Cheltenham last month went anything but to plan.

He was seen as the main threat to Faugheen's Champion Hurdle crown in March but pulled ferociously on his return in the International Hurdle and ended up trailing in last of six behind Old Guard, losing his unbeaten record in the process.

Peace And Co returned with a few minor issues, but is now ready to visit the track again.

Anthony Bromley, racing manager for Peace And Co's owners, Simon Munir and Isaac Souede, said: "Peace And Co is moving well again.

"He should be going to the Champion Hurdle Trial at Haydock.

"That's the plan we have for him at the moment and he should get to Haydock."
