I think Melon will run in the Ch.hurdle again next year, after coming so close this year ,
Surely they'll want to give it another shot.
 
Nicky Henderson on Racing uk site , Buveur d'air to follow same route to ch Hurdle at cheltenham .
Rules out going to the Dublin festival.

If he's stuffed by Samcro they might have a rethink.

Must be hoping Summerville boy opposes in atleast one of those races, can’t see them wanting to give him such a lack lustre prep again
 
I'm reading that Buveur has had a 'routine' wind operation.

Summerville boy .
If the cap fits
Will hendo take him on himself with we have a dream.
At a push you could throw redicean in the mix of opposition.
 
Melon stays hurdling according to Willie. Laurina also being aimed here.
 
He’ll stay over hurdles and will go the Champion Hurdle route. There are a couple of different reasons to think that he is a little bit better than his Champion Hurdle run, so we’d love to get him back there in top shape for another crack at it.
 
I've taken the 12-1 Bet365 as opposed to the 14's.

The ability to cash out if anything changes is worth the two points I feel.

For when she's inevitably aimed at the Mares
 
I don't see Laurina as being value at 14/1 for the Champion Hurdle. Am I the only one?

Probably... she wouldn't go off that price so hard to argue it not being value. If she isn't up to the grade she won't run in it and it'll be a non runner

Not an each way bet though.
