Verdana Blue shocks Buveur D'Air in Christmas Hurdle

Verdana Blue ended the long unbeaten run of dual champion hurdler Buveur D'Air in the Unibet Christmas Hurdle at Kempton.

Both horses are trained by Nicky Henderson, and they had it between them from the second-last, where it looked like 1-4 favourite Buveur D'Air was always just going to do enough to hold on.
