UNIBET CHAMPION HURDLE CHALLENGE TROPHY (Grade 1) (1)	Distance : 2m 87y (Old)
Prize : £264,609 Age : 4yo+ Race Type : Hurdle	Going : Soft

The largest field for the Champion Hurdle since 23 went to post in 2009, though quantity wasn't matched with quality, most having best form which was some way short of the standard usually required, the bare form of Epatante's win, with the mares allowance, earning a rating from Timeform as low as any winner this century, though she was value for a bit more than the winning margin and the runner-up produced an effort marginally better than Sublimity and Hors La Loi III achieved in winning the race; there was quite a notable list of absentees that might have made an impact, including the first 2 in the Mares' Hurdle, last season's Champion Bumper winner Envoi Allen, the sidelined dual Champion Buveur d'Air, the very smart mare Verdana Blue, the Betfair Hurdle winner Pic d'Orhy and even the first 2 in the Supreme, not to mention the pick of a strong crop of juveniles, while the winner herself was a rumoured doubt for the race the previous week, reported to have coughed, Benie des Dieux, who would have needed to be supplemented, briefly an improbable favourite ante-post; for the third time on the afternoon, the race began from a standing start after the starter hadn't been happy with the field lining up, such an outcome entirely predictable and unsatisfactory, a review of starting procedures surely overdue, including the question of whether the starters themselves are contributing to the problem, the current system of the starters effectively marking their own homework, by deciding whether any riders were at fault, not allowing for that possibility.
