  • Blue stripe commenced on Oddschecker on Honeysuckle for the Cheltenham Champion Hurdle, 10s into 7s and 8s.

    7/1 from 10/1 BF/PP, with push out to 9/4 from them both for the Mares.

      The mares novice is over 2m 1f (I think) and although cheltenham demands a certain aspect of extra stamina she did win a couple of her novice racing over that distance (or very similar), unfortunately missed the festival.

      The natural route for her is the mares as there is no mares 2m race (thankfully) but if she shows the pace absolutely the champion hurdle becomes a possible plan.

        Just repeating what HDB said. 'If Red Mills or Quevega were at sane time, she'd run in one of those'. I don't make things up honest !

        • Just had a play on the Honeysuckle (Champion) BDD (Mares) Double with the former part NRNB. Its at a price less than ideal but I can't see anything other than upside with both due to run over the next ten days or so.

          I'd suggest BDD must be working the house down for Mullins to let her out.

            Naturally going to happen after trainer quotes yesterday. I wouldn't read too much into it . If Benie wins tomorrow, she will be cut in Stayers but we will know nowt until decs time.

              She'd be in them he said, i'd still bank on her going to a g1 over dropping in grade. Either way, Honeysuckle is unproven over 2miles, there's very little to suggest she'd not be ok over it. You seem to have it decided already!

                  Honeysuckle Mares and Benie Stayers might not be a bad double to cover the above.

                            It annoys me that that might be true.

                            If EVER there was a reason to knock the Mares Hurdle back to a Grade 2 it's that.... force their hands!

                            • The 14/1 still hanging for Honey to with the Irish Champion then Champion Hurdle is the best play from the declarations today...

                              Apple's Jade could back up quickly though.... shocked us all before doing that



                              The 29.25/1 double that FM put up also a tiny bit nicer looking than it was...

                              • It’s finally dawned on me that the ‘Churdle’ is a reference to the Champion Hurdle, I thought it was a pre festival race for the past month......doh
