Yorkhill must be a big possibility for this race should Faugheen not make it for whatever reason. As lightly raced as Melon is if he can't beat Tent then he won't be getting near BD for me. IMO the only horses that can potentially stick it to BD are Faugheen & Yorkhill, although Yorkhill does need to show he retains the same zest over hurdles, but I'd have no reason to believe he wouldn't, fences haven't been his game, and his raw talent was the reason he won at the festival last season, because his jumping still left a lot to be desired.

The more I think about it the more I believe we won’t see Yorkhill here, regardless of Willie’s other horses. Chasing was always the plan with him, and as it turns out he’s a bloody good chaser. He jumps and travels excellently, at least going left handed, so it would seem like a massive step back in his career to see him revert to hurdles. I think a crack at the Champion Chase this year would be perfect for him, see if they can settle him down for next year if they still want to make a Gold Cup horse out of him.

Ricci on Faugheen:
When asked whether Faugheen will make the Champion Hurdle, Ricci told talkSPORT2: "Barring anything popping up of a more serious nature this week, absolutely. I think we'll crack on.
"Whether he goes to the Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown in the first week of February, or whether he'll go straight to Cheltenham, I don't know, but our intention at the moment is to crack on. He was fine after the race. We've gotten him home. He's normal. Everything's fine, which is good news. He's not lame. There are no leg issues.
"I'm just hoping that in the next day or two something comes out where he's been incubating a cold. I think that would be the best-case scenario."

Another Cheltenham wasted then
Take what you can get instead of going into the unknown. They're well aware he won't win the CH but there's plenty of prize money there.Last edited by Scooby91; 1 January 2018, 05:39 PM.https://scooby91horseracingtips.com/
