Updated: Tuesday, 31 Dec 2013 17:08 | Comments Boston Bob's next run could be in the Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham on 25 January Boston Bob could be a fascinating challenger to the mighty Big Buck's in Cheltenham's Cleeve Hurdle after a most impressive comeback victory at Punchestown. Four-times World Hurdle hero Big Buck's was unable to defend his crown in the staying showpiece last March after missing much of the season through injury, but he is close to a comeback, with the Cleeve his intended starting point on 25 January.

Bruce reveals reception for Huddlestone
Updated: Sunday, 29 Dec 2013 10:34 | Comments Tom Huddlestone scored for Hull City in their 6-0 win While Tom Huddlestone's first goal for Hull City means a trip to the barbers for the midfielder this week, manager Steve Bruce thinks his part in Saturday's 6-0 win over Fulham could help put him on the plane to the World Cup with England next year.

Soldado had struggled since his £26million move from Valencia in the summer, scoring just once from open play in the Barclays Premier League, but he tore Anzhi apart on Thursday night as Spurs ran out easy 4-1 winners at White Hart Lane. Soldado glanced Gylfi Sigurdsson's shot beyond Evgeni Pomazan and he beat the Anzhi goalkeeper again from close range before scoring from the spot for the fourth time this season to seal his hat-trick.
