Legends such as Sir Ken, Night Nurse, Monksfield, Sea Pigeon and more recently Istabraq have lit up the lives of National Hunt fans and rightly earned their place in the annuls of racing history.

But with each of the season's top hurdle races offering a different challenge for the superstars of the two mile division there's been no definitive way to measure the true worth of a Champion.

Now, with the inception of the WBX Hurdling Triple Crown, two mile hurdling will finally have a benchmark to gauge greatness.
