Champion Hurdle contender My Tent Or Yours warmed up for Cheltenham next month with a comfortable win in a 'Bumper' flat race at Kempton.

Sent off a 1-5 favourite for the two-mile race on the all-weather track, AP McCoy guided his mount to a four-and-a-half-length victory from Ranjaan.

Prompter, also owned by JP McManus, set the pace but My Tent Or Yours went to the front two and a half furlongs out.

The Nicky Henderson-trained winner is 5-1 Champion Hurdle fourth favourite.

But his rivals in the big race on 11 March may not include Un De Sceaux.

Willie Mullins, who trains Champion Hurdle favourite Hurricane Fly, indicated his stablemate may miss Cheltenham.

The Irish trainer also has unbeaten mare Annie Power as a possible, although she may run in the longer World Hurdle.

My Tent Or Yours brought up a 65-1 treble at Kempton for 18-time champion McCoy, who also won on Five In A Row (9-2) and Knightly Escapade (9-1).
