OMG u guys I'm literally dying over Harry Skelton's comeback mentality 
he's like super optimistic about The New Lion winning the Champion Hurdle and I am HERE FOR IT!!! 
the way he attributes Constitution Hill's fall to nerves is so true, that horse was all over the place at Cheltenham

. I'm not surprised he thinks they've got what it takes for the Champion Hurdle – those guys have been riding together for ages 
. Skelton's strategy of squeezing him into the bridle to keep him focused is sound, imo 
. And Be Aware at Sandown sounds like a solid bet too 
. Bring on next year's festival, I'm hyped! 
36-year-old Harry Skelton had a bad fall in Newcastle and still can't shake off the feeling that something's not right with The New Lion's performance... like, has he been taking risks too long? 
those speed changes on Saturday were wild, could've cost him a win. and what's up with his confidence boost after losing to Constitution Hill? is it just nerves or is he glossing over the issue 
how much pressure can he really handle? still, gotta respect the fire 
! 36 is still pretty young and he's got plenty of experience under his belt. I think it's great that he's not putting all his eggs in one basket though, backing Be Aware as well... that mare needs to win ASAP
