Will he ever be challenged?Un De Sceauxhttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30745625/can-sprinter-sacre-have-a-thread-for-himself-this-season-2016-2017-please?post_id=550278325#550278325Douvan is so hard to assess at present.Never extended, yet alone challenged, jumping flawless.But yet to face anything, over hurdles or fences, which could be called top class.What will he find when challenged?
