Look no further than the brilliant BUVEUR D'AIR. Winner of the Champion Hurdle in each of the past two seasons, he added yet another Fighting Fifth Hurdle to his already burgeoning CV when fully deflating the hype which had built up around the Irish challenger Samcro. Furthermore, his trainer Nicky Henderson is an absolute master at handling these top-class 2-milers. By recording a second straight Christmas Hurdle win, that aforementioned CV will hold an obvious degree of symmetry in terms of Grade 1 victories.
