Denis Kelly, CEO of StanJames.com commented: "We are delighted to be sponsoring the Road To Cheltenham series which leads to the Stan James Champion Hurdle in March.
"We are particularly pleased at the addition of two races, the StanJames.com Greatwood Hurdle and the StanJames.com Morgiana Hurdle, which get the proceedings underway on Sunday, November 17.
"The latter sees the Road To Cheltenham head over the Irish Sea for the first time with reigning champion Hurricane Fly set to face Triumph Hurdle hero Our Conor at Punchestown in a mouth-watering contest."
Peter McNeile, Head of Sponsorship at Cheltenham Racecourse, added: "It is great news that Stan James has renewed its contract for the Road To Cheltenham two-mile hurdle races, to include the new additions of the StanJames.com Morgiana Hurdle and the StanJames.com Greatwood Hurdle, which take place on the same day on different sides of the Irish Sea.
"The two-mile hurdle division looks set to provide us with some thrilling action this season, with prominent horses such as The New One, Hurricane Fly and Our Conor.
"I am sure therefore that Stan James will find this partnership with all the racecourses incredibly rewarding."
