Champion Hurdle 2020

[Viking Flagship]

What chances does everyone give Klassical Dream? i have him in a number of antepost bets i put on in October/November time, some are Request a bets to place too. Looks like a chaser jumping hurdles on recent outings! Although i am on Epatante as my main hope.

I think he probably qualifies as a 'dark horse' for this now! I'd find it hard to back him, but I couldn't confidently say he's not a danger to all.

yeah thats the way i see it, i wouldn't be overly surprised at all to see him turn up and go close. Although i won't be backing him anymore!

11/2 special with Sky, advised by Outlaw

Into 4's now as I had it in the slip

That's short enough for me now so won't be backing.

It seems likely to me that Honey and Benie will avoid each other if possible, but what's the general consensus on Benie actually ending up here?

Paddy’s currently have the ‘run in’ market as...

Honeysuckle Champion Hurdle 8/15, Mares Hurdle 5/4.

Benie Mares Hurdle 2/5, Stayers 7/2, Champion 9/2

i could only see Benie going up in trip to the stayers. Honeysuckle looks a 2m4 horse to me but has a better chance of winning this rather than taking Benie on in the mares.

Can’t see benie coming here saldier Sharjah and benie in one race no way

Recency Bias will lead Saldier to be almost the forgotten one going in to the festival I feel.

I don't rank the race Honeysuckle won at the DRF to be up to much myself. I definitely don't think Sharjah ran to form, and I think Saldier will go in to the Champion Hurdle as WPM's number one.

Totally agree in that Saldier's not mentioned too much (which is a good thing IMO). Him not running at the DRF & since November keeps the spotlight on others... meanwhile looking at his record fresh 11F (the fall being when seemingly having Espoir D'Allen covered at the time too) keeps me happy to leave this market alone now as on antepost at 25s & Sharjah 33s. Just hoping he makes it there.

In what looks a wide open renewal, happy to have him onside & if the price moves out any further will add to some doubles/trebles in the week itself.

Yeh the 6/1 NRNB about Saldier looks lovely

He'd be my pick if I was starting now too.

If you were brave you could get over 8/1 with WH - it's clearly the target....

Using Petit Mouchoir as the benchmark he's the best in Ireland...

Was nearly ready to run for the DRF too I remember hearing, they just chose not to...



I'm happily covered on him, but one to consider in a multiple perhaps.

[Pendil]

Darver Star @ 33/1 WH is a huge price for this based on his last 2 runs

[jack1092]

It doesn't look a classic renewal, but he won it with ease.

Fakir hasn't done too bad for all he has had the allowances.

Felix Desjy hasn't been seen. Aramon only once.

Unfortunately all this doesn't matter as Klassical Dream has lost his marbles

Not only Thomas Derby winning off 151, Itchy feet now looking a proper Marsh candidate. Supreme form not golden but hardly worthy of the bin either.
