THE connections of leading Champion Hurdle hopes Faugheen and Buveur d’Air will have seen nothing to be worried about in the International Hurdle at Cheltenham last Saturday. Little more than four lengths covered the first six home and the winner, My Tent Or Yours, has come up short in the big one three times previously.

That said, the form looks solid enough, if a rung or two below the top level, and the time is a decent one: I have a 154 timefigure on My Tent Or Yours, and figures of 158 and 157 on The New One and Melon, who both conceded him weight.
