Buveur D'Air is the obvious form horse in the Betway Aintree Hurdle (3.25) but he goes into the race under a bit of a cloud and it would surely take a brave punter to go in heads down at a shade of odds-on.

I must admit I thought Buveur D'Air would be the most likely winner of last month's Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham, largely because I didn't like the chances of Apple's Jade at the track and Laurina over 2m anywhere, but he fluffed his lines by diving at the third flight and taking a heavy fall.
