    Agree with this and still very much on the Saldier bandwagon.

    Of all the 2 mile hurdlers we have seen, he is the quickest and lowest over his obstacles in comparison to Epatante imo.

    I just really hope they can keep him fit, WPM said as much in his stable tours that he’d love a crack at the champion hurdle with him. That tells me enough of the regard he is held and it is the niggly issues last season that have stopped that from happening thus far.

    To be fair to the horse he is a little like CPS, he isn’t really injury prone, getting skelped on the dish by another horse is hardly an injury we see to regard him as injury prone. Only really last season after the Morgiana is when he’s had niggly issues.

    I think if he lines up in the ICH it can only be viewed as positive in that he’ll have come out of Xmas ok and I would expect a potentially even sharper performance.
    All day. I'd almost prefer him to miss the ICH and go straight to Cheltenham, but would love to see him smash up the ICH field

    • .....Mullins giving an interesting mention to James du Berlais for this;

      Willie Mullins talks us through his team for Punchestown on Sunday including Asterion Forlonge who takes on Envoi Allen.

      • Thanks Scooby for the information. I was keeping an eye out for JDB coming over and very pleased he went to Mullins. I was put off by the Stayers being his likely and only target due to his age but interested by a potential Champion Hurdle entry. I took 35/1 with Betfair Sportsbook NRNB and 75/1 on the Betfair Exchange.

          Interesting, really sounds like they're intending to run him at Cheltenham. A fun outsider to back at this stage for sure.

          • It makes Concertista even less likely to run!

                          Maybe you should have said Churdle or Ichurlde

                              I said neither
                              I will never say churdle or wowsers!
