    2026 Champion Hurdle

    For all the bollox I've heard about that lad over the years, has he ever actually helped anyone? 🤣 Anyone recall him being brought in to help an iffy jumper, and after he worked with them, there jumping noticeably improved?

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    I'm too young to remember this. Was there a situation with binocular where people were mislead and huge prices were available?

    AI vs Cheltenham (Punter or Really a Plonker)

    Can combine the two as well. What does chatgpt make of the current state of the water table.

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    I haven't seen it on twitter or anything yet, so I don't know if it's even real yet. But if it is, then no excuse to try and fall back on. There could be no "We genuinely thought yogi had fixed the issue" or anything like that, as it would be plain as day that they were never telling the truth...

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    Yeah apparently there's footage of him smashing into a hurdle. If that's true, the problem with that now is that even if they did want to run him, they would no longer have an "out" if the worst did happen in the champion hurdle. They could no longer say "his schooling was perfect and that's...

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    I'll hold off then, thought i read it would be the weekend. Drift could be leading to an announcement that people know is coming in the next few hours.

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    I'm tempted to have a decent bit on at these prices. If they let it fester until the weekend as they've indicated then there's room for doubt to creep in and price to come back in possibly. Doubt to creep into the market I mean, and people start backing him again thinking he's too big since...

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    The drift isn't on the back of anything public though is it? Like a tweet from a source that could be unreliable or something. From what I gather it's come out of nowhere, and it's pretty drastic, so I'd tend to believe it. Will have a tenner on him probably 😂

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    From what I've heard, it seems mullins wanted to keep him in bumpers this season, but jp wanted him to go hurdling straight away, presumably because they realised they didnt have much else. So it would make no sense for them to then skip cheltenham, as going to cheltenham for the...

    2026 BetMGM Cup Handicap Hurdle (previously Coral Cup)

    Yeah I hadn't even looked at the yellow clay specifically, assumed from the post that he'd been treated harshly. Was just speaking generally about elliotts entries, most of them are treated harshly imo.

    2026 BetMGM Cup Handicap Hurdle (previously Coral Cup)

    Handicapper is bias towards elliott every year after he was racking up the handicaps a few years ago. Nearly everything he enters gets slapped with a hefty tax. If they were trained by De bromhead they'd all be a couple pounds lower.

    2026 Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Handicap Chase

    Anything been said about him actually going over? Was trying to find a comment from de bromhead in his stable tours but couldn't find anything.

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    For a quick example of how meaningless these exchange moves are. Yesterday after jim posted about fact to file edging into fave, I had a quick look over my ryanair bets and thought that I was in an extremely good position if fact to file doesn't go, so I thought I can afford to have a big...

    General Chat

    There's nothing that's really a huge standout is there? A few here and there that got leniently treated enough imo that I've backed, but doesn't look to be any obvious blots to me.

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    It'll be just people assuming con hill will frighten them off. She went out to 12s for the champion immediately after his win at Southwell, and started coming in for the mares.

    2026 Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Handicap Chase (Amateur Riders)

    Yeah I saw, makes david Maxwell look decent 😂 Was interested in minella emperor around that time as assumed he was owned by paul byrne looking at the colours. After having a closer look realised o'neill owned him and probably be on him wherever he goes. Lucky escape 😂

    The nightmare scenario is michael o'neill 💀

    2026 Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Handicap Chase (Amateur Riders)

    Not sure without checking who's available and who could do the weight etc But gleeson rides for him a fair bit, alan and maxine o'sullivan do too. Maybe one of them.

    2026 Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Handicap Chase (Amateur Riders)

    Might not get in though will he? 126 cutting it very tight. Nrnb so doesn't matter though obviously. Anyone remember which handicaps have had their max field size reduced this year? Saw a story about it a few weeks ago but can't find it now.

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    If mullins wants her in the mares, then it's something he could use as an excuse to go there I suppose. I'd assume his true thinking though is he couldn't care less what con hill has done in a flat maiden 😂 And if it suits him and townend better to go for the champion then I don't think con...
