Melon done me proud, cracking price!
Chasing for Laurina next seasons.
Brian Power had a couple of wind surgeries and was always well thought off from home work. A boil over wouldn’t totally surprise me but JPs second string most likely to disrupt. Jezki and BDA first time were McManus second strings.
Unsatisfactory but think the winner might be very very good

After doing tall of the donkey work, BVD goes and falls early on and leaves us with loads of questions
Apples Jade.... wow, just doesn't like Cheltenham
Laurina, hyped up after beating a bunch of mares
Yeah, I'm after timing a little here... I backed BVD at the start of the season and was still confident going in to today.
I was RIGHT, BVD would have beaten both of those horses..... BUT the winner today was super impressive and I'm not sure whether BVD would have got by him.
I'll take a look at the race again, but that was some performance
Today was one of the weirdest Day 1 festivals i've been to... the majority of the races were won why 10-12 lengths
So weird that I'm going to chill out a little tomorrow (back down there) and see whether things start coming back in line
On a line through Melons Champion Hurdle runs who I am guessing ran to a similar level to last year Buveur finishes second by about 7 lengths - I doubt if they will clash until Tuesday of next year but winner at 5 looks like he could goon to dominate this division for a while
Poor old Melon, festival form reads 2-2-2, the new My Tent Or Yours!
I actually think he'll either see a fence or step up in trip for the next festival, because of his solid festival form he'll be an 'any race' bet I will probably be having quite early on.
