It is easy to make a case for both The New One and My Tent Or Yours, regulars in this race and in top-tier contests down through the years but neither is getting any younger now. That isn't to say they cannot run well, but this could represent a changing of the guard none the less. Melon looks certain to run a big race and his respected connections think plenty of him, while he also boasts useful course form from the Festival in March but a chance is taken with the returning CH'TIBELLO. He was down to run in Champion Hurdle here in March after a fine effort at Wincanton a month prior before being ruled out on the morning of the race. The Skelton team are in supreme form and, given he goes well in testing ground, he should be primed for a big run on his return to action.
  1. Ch'tibello
