Sorry if already posted on here before. Does any of you guys know what has happened to Charbel? Will he be running in this? Quite tempting still at a price.

Out tomorrow at Wincanton... Kim Bailey says he's been impressing at home - but nothing on target at Cheltenham. I would imagine this is the target after serving it up to Altior in the Arkle last year before falling.
***Should note he's going over hurdles tomorrow, seeing how he handles the hurdles and Bailey said they can revert back to chasing later in the season if needed.
Charbels record fresh (50 days or more off the track) is excellent, form reads 1-1-1-1-F, the fall being in the Arkle against Altior, where he was certainly serving it up to him then as well, and was by no means beat!
Must have a cracking chance tomorrow, on the basis of his runs when fresh, even if it is back over hurdles.

Could be worth taking some big prices for the Champion Hurdle before tomorrows race. Connection might even be tempted by the Greatwood if he wins nicely tomorrow.

Kim Bailey quote below
"I was thinking about the Greatwood (at Cheltenham's November Meeting) but that will be even more competitive.
"We don't really want to take on Altior again so we will try him over hurdles and it will do his confidence some good.
"I'm very happy with him and how he gets on will determine if he stays hurdling or not."
Do you think douvan and min both go there or just douvan?
I personally think just min and great field.. And I'd be willing to stick my neck out with complete confidence that min goes here.
Agree with that. I think there’s hope on the breeding side of things that Douvan will get 3 miles, he’s been entered in the King George, he beat Sizing John regularly, and they have always thought Min has the ability to stick it to Altior. Think this is the least likely race we’ll see Douvan in at the festival
