Fighting Fifth Hurdle

[granger]

He was gone for the season by the time Aintree came round last season. Bypassing Cheltenham which doesn't have a race for him is therefore the best plan of action

he was gone by Cheltenham really.

Aintree hurdle is a great race for him, I agree.

Given stable concerns and the fact he is probably at or very near his best, there is only one champion, I know where I would send him
