This far ahead, with so many things that can go wrong, I'd only be looking to protect the win portion with a place so I'd spend £20 as £10 win and £5 ew or even £12 win and £4 ew.
Truth be told, I probably would leave well alone until Paddy P quotes a price.
He's obviously a big price but I couldn't be having Angel's Breath at all right now. Certainly not over hurdles still and he's absolutely one I'd want to see lay down a proper marker even if it saw his price half. A lot of respectable people had high hope's for him last year and that belief may still hold true in the long term but for me he's an 'all talk no substance" horse for me. His win last year was bit of a joke of a race which hasn't held up form wise. Didn't feature in the Supreme and then Aintree on paper looked like an improvement finishing behind 2 decent horses but when you look at who finished behind it was probably the bare minimum of where he should have finished.
If they were to send him over a fence I think I'd have more interest but for now he's in the Charli Parcs category for me

I was very disappointed in him at aintree, I had a big old bet EW on him at 13/2 ante post. I personally thought he'd have no trouble winning. Throughout the race he was poor, pulled his chance away, found very little. and i was extremely lucky just to get a share of 3rd, where I personally thought he'd been nabbed for the minor place.
Probably end up in the county as one of the market leaders.

Yeah I thought the step up in trip would have brought about the necessary improvement to see him win that day.
He's just been a very underwhelming horse so far. Unless he turned inside out over the summer and came on a bundle something needs to change whether that be discipline or trip but the step up to 2m4 didn't seem to do anything at Aintree
They will be making a film if he wins the Champion Hurdle
A box office belter at that....The General meets Into The West
One for our Irish members!
Seriously tho the horse is super talented "IF" still retaining his ability. I've never been more confident in a 50/1 shot as i was when i seen him kick off in the Supreme he won!
