Nicky Henderson has dominated this event in the last 10 years, winning the race on four occasions and his dual winning Champion hurdler BUVEUR D'AIR gets a chance to make amends for his Cheltenham fall; he can become the eighth dual winner of this event since 1977. Four others who ran in this year’s Champion Hurdle take their chance over this extra half mile with all of them facing doubts over the trip; Melon and Silver Streak in particular have to prove they stay the distance. Faugheen may find this trip his best having run a very sound race in the Stayers’ Hurdle last time with a tired looking Supersundae well beaten off back in seventh.
