    2026 Champion Hurdle

    I’m coming back to The New Lion in this. I have some fancy ew tickets on Anzadam so will be cheering him on for a place but I think TNL is the likely winner, especially if the pace is strong (and why wouldn’t it be? I think only Golden Ace would be suited by a crawl). It’s not a golden renewal...

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    The whole preview evening was pretty crap apart from what Shark was saying. He may not always be right but he says what he thinks and doesn’t sit on the fence. Has Majborough as the banker of the week.

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    Was watching a bit of a preview evening on YouTube with Robbie Power, Shark Hanlon and the lanky striker who played for Sunderland and Ireland (forgotten his name sorry). Anyways, Power raised the point about the “new rubber hurdles” introduced in the UK a couple of years ago, that they are too...

    I'm not far behind you on the age front. AI for picking horses seems like a fast road to the poor house

    What about this: Constitution Hill doesn't run, Lossiemouth does and gets beat fair and square. That will save a few GB on the forum server going forward :ROFLMAO:

    The BHA are giving a going stick reading of 5.5 from 11.00 this morning. Somewhere between soft and heavy but no idea on what part of which course it was taken. https://www.britishhorseracing.com/racing/fixtures/upcoming/view-races/#!/2026/631entries/#!%2F2026%2F631

    2026 Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle

    This season I'm more for the unexposed horses, rather than the plotted ones. Absolutely Doyen, C'Est Different, Champagne Chic, Duke Silver and Kikijo floating my boat on first glance. Wait for the weights and try and pick up some info from the previews but these are the ones I currently like...

    2026 Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle

    My only worry is that this qualifier is plenty close enough to the final itself. The going looked testing enough too. Will The Wise finished 8th in the final last year after winning the Naas qualifier but I think I'd be wanting to look elsewhere for the winner, it feels too close to the final.

    Melbourne Shamrock did that well, but might need a bit of Irish tax to get in the final
