I am all over Saldier @ 10/1 EW in the ICH. I think he has the potential to easily beat Honeysuckle over 2m and I don't think it's that bold a prediction.

...the Sky special for it to finish 1st 3 ICH/CH @ 16-1 is a consideration, given only 6 runners tomorrow (the offer still states 3 places).

Saldier to place in the Irish Champion Hurdle & Champion Hurdle (3 places)




Could that be settled at 'standard place terms' for the Irish version though?

I'd get clarification on it....

....after reviewing their prices post-declaration, PP are still 80-1 Saldier DRF/CH. Perhaps they know something!!

1:05 sat stattler 5/1

this will surely be a a bit of a slog and stamina test so think he could outbattle them

ICH Saint roi 7/1

Going to give him one more go at the prices, don't like honeysuckles jumping, don't like sharjah on this ground

Arkle Captain Guinness 8/1

Loads of tear aways in the Irish arkle, hoping he can pick up the pieces

Will wait for the day to commit to a handicap bet


Elsewhere it looks like now or never for le breiul in the Edinburgh national

Do you think the small field will help him?

I'd have thought the opposite.... I think he wants a big field (or at least, a strong pace and plenty of cover) and arrive late....

Agree. Same Saint Roi. If it did come up heavy maybe they will pull Aba as well ? Sounds like its being handed on a plate to Honeysuckle.

I'm hoping she is the pace.... and gets done...

May the best horse win though, you've fancied her for this from a long way out, and I've said I think she'll get beat from a long way out :highly_amused:

Have to say, I'm nervous!

Petit mouchoir and honeysuckle will hopefully make it a properly run race

Id think petit mouchoir will make it, Rachel will sit just in behind and look to commit 2 out but hope not to fluff the last 2 hurdles

Shes the likeliest winner but can't get that finishing speed saint roi showed in the county hurdle out of my head and willing to take a chance despite him having it all to prove

If he bolted up at that price I'd be gutted I had nothing on but also delighted for my ante post bets
 
I'm another one who things she'll get done for pace, but the race this weekend is starting to tilt into her favour

- small field, tactical
- soft/heavy ground should low the pace down, help with her jumping


Wonder if Mullins is send one out push the pace forward? If they allow Petite and Honeysuckle to settle and set the pace up front, then it will be a repeat of last year with Honeysuckle winning this

I'm not sure she'll make the pace. If they are going to take Epatante on then they have to be confident she has the pace to win over 2 miles. For me, she has shown more speed in her last two races so they can sit in behind now if they want to. If she does get beat then please let it be by Saint Roi. I'd settle for that and I think you would too !

Keeps amazing me how people keep going on about her jumping. Apart from last year's ICH, where in all honesty it wasn't actually that bad apart from the last, her jumping has been very good and in fact, has been impeccable in her last two where she has jumped quickly, low and accurate in both. I find it strange how she can be knocked as much as she is with her unblemished record but Envoi is put on a pedestal. Envoi is a superstar in the making...... Honeysuckle is no different.

She jumped 4 of the 8 obstacles slowly

It amazes me that you keep pretending that didn't happen :angel:

She jumped better the last twice because the races were over further at a slower pace

Really like the horse and would happily watch her bolt up but at the prices she's not a bet for the weekend

Id be tempted by a small play on the 22/1 for her to win this and the champion hurdle, because if she can jump better she'd be clear second fav

But she can and she has......that's my point. Henry and co have said the same recently. Any horse can be excused a few awkward jumps in one race. Epatante jumped really poorly last time. Honeysuckle has won 10 jumping races not 3 or 4.

She hasn't though

Shes run once over 2 miles at a high level and jumped poorly

We arent talking about her jumping over 2m4f at a slower pace that has no bearing for saturday
