The decision to move BUVEUR D’AIR back to hurdles has already paid off handsomely with his Champion Hurdle win and he could well add another Grade 1 victory over hurdles against a field that lacks depth. Perhaps the only danger is the increased trip that he tries for the first time and it could well be that something like The New One sets out to make this a real test and attempts to draw the sting out of his finish. Identity Thief could well come back to form returned to hurdles with the trip holding no fears but the distance may well be a problem for My Tent Or Yours who was well beaten in this race last year and he’s going to need to really settle to get home.
