Just had a look at Cadmium's debu for you. Won with plenty in hand over Call The Taxi who has some quite nice form in the book.
Do you know the reason she didn't run again?

As I understand it he had an injury similar to Douvan. He jumped the brush hurdles beautifully so we're looking forward to seeing him over fences.
No chance Douvan ends up being the mount of anyone but Ruby, if he turns up.
I'll have a go, as I am wasting my day off work anyway

With the target for Yorkhill even more up in the air after today...
Who does Ruby ride if:
A) Yorkhill goes for the Ryanair and joins Un De Sceaux
B) Yorkhill goes Champion Hurdle and joins Faugheen
In either of the above scenerios I would have usually taken it as an easy answer. If A) then Yorkhill would clearly be held in a higher regard and B) if he did go Champion Hurdle it would either be in the absence of Faugheen or Faugheen would be so far below form that Ruby would jump ship.
I'm not so sure now with Yorkhill having plenty to prove.
I think Yorkhill over hurdles would fare no better than if 'todays' Faugheen runs to that same form in March. And you'll always have that slight thinking that it could come back with Faugheen however small.
In The Ryanair, although Yorkhill would look to get his optimum conditions - Cheltenham, 2m4 - that wouldn't be enough to give him a chance on the way he ran today. Compared to the current champion and a horse in UDS who has had the perfect prep going into the race. Never thought there would actually be a decision there to make previously but it would be hard to turn UDS down on who each of their seasons have gone so far?
I would personally draw a line through Yorkhill today but where as beforehand I would have thought wherever he lined up at the festival Ruby would have been onboard, that may no longer be a given? And if that's not the case, his chances suddenly decrease as he is a must for him...

Be an incredibly bold shout to have Yorkhill in the CH in his first hurdle run of the season
Also bold to be "off" UDS when he's proven that he's in good form still this season wheras we have no evidence Yorkhill is the same horse as last year.
I didn't think there was much chance of Yorkhill lining up WITHOUT Ruby on, but I think that is much more likely after yesterday (obviously).
I couldn't have Yorkhill on my mind UNLESS Ruby chose him over UDS in the Ryanair.
