...after it’s run at Aintree last year, Skelton said this was a target for Roksana so I took a very early price (and mentioned it way back in this thread).

I know the Irish have a great record in these races, but it generally seems GB runners are overlooked and overpriced.

A lot of twitterati seem to think Laurina well go Mares whereas the few people I know with connections to connections in Mullins yard are all over BDD. I actually think Brain Power and Verdana are bigger dangers to front two in Champion Hurdle. I am contrary today.
 
Why has Verdana not been considered for the Mares race? Am I oblivious to the obvious?? Since last September I cannot recall her being considered when NH has Bu Vair Dair & Brain Power to throw at it.

She struggles to get up the hill over 2 miles, and get 2 miles competitively on soft so they must doubt her stamina.
 
FWIW, at this point, Altior asides, id have BDD is the banker of the festival.
 
According to Oddschecker
Ladbrokes going 5/2 Benie des dieux to win any race

Yes, she's an intended runner in this race BC.

and she finished a solid second ;)
 
I was a bit worried , cos i thought she is owned by chevely park , and they said they'll only
have 5 runners at the festival ??.and didn't see her mentioned .
 
Owned by sullivan bloodstock isn’t she?
 
Yes your right Muswell , I was getting myself confused !. So should be a runner and hopefully ( for me ),
in the Mares hurdle.
 
Ruby Walsh on Benie Des Dieux:

"Benie Des Dieux is the one I am most looking forward to. She is my best ride of the week. I am not one bit worried she hasn't run this season. It doesn't bother me at all. I wasn't worried when Quevega was going to Cheltenham without a run every year and I am not worried about Benie doing likewise".

Given AJ and Laurina are almost certain to go for the CH, plus Ruby and Willie saying this is their best chance, I have been surprised this has been 11/10 has been available this long.
