Go Native features among 17 entries for next week's Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle at the confirmation stage.

The Noel Meade-trained seven-year-old comes into the race in pursuit a £1million bonus from betting exchange wbx.com, having already won the Fighting Fifth and the Christmas Hurdle this season.

Meade has also entered Donnas Palm and Muirhead, while Nicky Henderson could saddle three runners in last year's first and third - Punjabi and Binocular - and 2009 Triumph Hurdle hero Zaynar.
