Quevega is in good form. She is bred to want a trip and showed she stays in this race last year but it is amazing that she also has so much speed. We would only have gone for the Rabobank Champion Hurdle with her if Hurricane Fly had a setback. Mourad is improving with every run this year. Katie takes over from Paul Townend. It looks as if Paul's collarbone injury is more serious than we first thought, and he could be out for six weeks. Hopefully he has built up enough of a lead to win the jockey's championship. Mikael D'Haguenet is going back over hurdles for a confidence booster. It may be that he enjoys hurdles more than fences, and this could help to make up our mind which way we go with him next season,.
