We Have A Dream could start at Cheltenham as connections eye Champion Hurdle bid

Nicky Henderson can have few regrets from the 2017-18 campaign, but We Have A Dream's absence from the Triumph Hurdle is perhaps one given what the nascent Champion Hurdle contender went on to do in Aintree's Anniversary 4-Y-O Juvenile Hurdle.

Unbeaten in five starts for Henderson, which also included the Future Champions Finale at Chepstow, he kickstarted a dream Grade 1 treble at the Grand National meeting for owners Simon Munir and Isaac Souede, but there is a sense of what might have been at Cheltenham.

"He won everything he could win, but he got a temperature on the Monday morning of Cheltenham week and that was the end of that, which was pretty bad luck," said Henderson.
