2026 Champion Hurdle

This place has turned into ...

Live at the Apollo!!
 
Now con hill is out of the picture, I’m all over Lossiemouth now

The New Lion is a similar type, a two and half miler, but has to give Lossiemouth weight

Brightdays is 7lbs worse (imo) around Cheltenham, she looks better on a flatter galloping track. Lossiemouth looks a few lbs better around Cheltenham. So expect her to reserve the form

Lossie is better than Golden Ace, and the rest (including Alexei!!! lol)
 
Please send that to Willie Opatcho!

It is now looking like one of the worst Champion Hurdles now in year's. Let's hope some good 2 mile novices emerge and take their Champion Hurdle place next year.
El Cairos would seem the one, he's not the biggest so no guarantee fences will be for him
