  • County Hurdle 2018

    Have had a little tickle on Campeador in this at 20s. Was running a mighty race in the Fred Winter before coming down at the last, and I assume he'll be aimed here. Anyone else got any plays yet in this race? The likes of Elgin, Mick Jazz, Charli Parcs and even Defi Du Seuil could end up here

      Usually I'd discount Campeador due to his lofty rating and the fact he'll be close to top weight, however, last years winner was top weight and the runner up carried the second top weight.

      Outside the usual suspects, Duca De Thaix is the only handicapper I've added for this season although he could step up in trip to the Pipe race or Coral Cup.

      If they get Mick Jazz there off his current mark then he'd be a major player.

        Will just add i haven't backed any of them, just my shortlist

        I think bleu et rouge is very well handicapped on his runs over hurdles his run at Aintree behind buveur dair reads extremely well to his rating.

        High bridge ran a mighty race behind Elgin before tiring late on the form has worked out very well so far and I could see him going very well. Off his current mark

        Mick jazz claims speak for itself.

        The others are on very fair hurdle marks compared to there chase form, and showed enough over hurdles.

          Thinking of backing Mick Jazz who does look rock solid off a decent mark then leaving it at that for this one til we know a bit more after Xmas. Ball D’Arc will be backed whichever race he’s aimed at, think he’s long had a win at the top level in him

            With no mention of Srtic Fire this side of Christmas it would be interesting if they tried the same again with him

            Would be interested in what weight he’d be given too, last year they dropped him a stone

              Mick Jazz obviously interesting, I'd take 16s on him any race now haha

                Jenkins could now be a plot for this race, he could get in at a feather weight. Ignore his last run on soft, he should fair better on decent ground and now he has seen the track. I heard he is a different animal this season.

                    Visually it looks that way, but he has had a small wind op.

                      If I post nearer the time and say anything positive about Jenkins, I would like somebody to bring up this post, where I swear I will NEVER back him again

                        Jenkins does not have one bit of form to impress me in his career, and even his biggest fan must surely struggle to claim anything of note since his debut win.

                            Got a feeling Flying Tiger is being laid out for a mark for this. Won the Fred Winter last year and will get nicely thumped by Buveur D'air tomorrow

                              Mick Jazz running in the Hattons Grace tomorrow over 2m 4f instead of a 2m handicap Hurdle worth nearly €60K. I'm assuming Mick will be highly tried (he's also gone down to Melon this season) until the right handicap opportunity presents itself. Gordon does have the favourite in the valuable handicap tomorrow so that may explain Mick going elsewhere for now.
