Race preview
MELON was runner-up in the Champion Hurdle and although he ran below his best when last sighted over 3m-plus in France in May, he's a potential improver now dropping back in trip on his fencing bow. Off You Go signed off last season by running with credit twice in Grade 2 company and, like fellow JP McManus representative Fakir D'Oudairies, who was fourth in the Supreme, he's a talented hurdler to monitor in the betting now tackling the larger obstacles.
