    For THREE YEARS ! Seems a bit harsh considering that all he did to an entitled trespassing pensioner was whack him with a hockey stick

    Same age as Wodhooh and rated 16lbs inferior. Wodhooh proven over the trip JDG 7 years old, rated 12lbs superior, proven over the trip BDA 7 years old, rated 21lbs superior, proven over the trip White Noise, unproven over the trip and where is she going to find the improvement from?

    Just seen on another post that the challenge could well come from BDA staying hurdling….. I still feel that there are only probably 4 Mares that can win next years Mares Hurdle and one of them looks certain to defend her CH crown

    So is JDG a shoe in for the Mares if Wodhooh goes Stayers next year ?….related double like Wodhooh and Lossie this year? 10/1 looks big if Willie decides to keep her hurdling……where else is the challenge going to come from?…..doesnt look to be standout mare from the novice ranks this year

    I’m also in the Croke Park Cliff Horse Club…….think he may not have been running for his life during most of the season in graded races so have to have an interest @25/1

    Tend to agree, particularly when looking at TheYellow Clay’s performances this year

    I agree, however I was impressed with He’s On Fire today, who looks a big old unit built for chasing……leading BANC candidate IMO

    Maybe the trend of ‘beaten horses in the GC rarely win it later’ could have an age factor….as recent winner A Plus Tard won the GC at 8 years old after finishing second the year before.

    Wouldn’t be the first or last time we have been ‘put away’ with statements about future plans…..as we as ante post punters know, plans change and frequently! She will have to have improved her jumping from the schooling reports from a few seasons back and could do so, but if the previous...

    I don’t understand why they still believe she needs to step up in trip when all her best performances have been at 2m over the last two seasons?……..trainer and owner keep saying it…..so IF they are proved right then she will be better than her current OR 159 and 165 RPR…….Mares Hurdle @20/1...

    Not sure the Cheltenham Bumper is a good route for the Supreme based upon recent results……..a fair few end up needing a trip, regardless of whether they run in the Turners or not the following year

    The highest rated hurdler who may go chasing next year is BDA…..even without the mares allowance However connections have mentioned chasing as part of the plan for the last two seasons, yet have followed the hurdling route. She appears to have maintained her form better this season and had a...

    Struggling for sure - 2 winners (both Wodhooh) from 90 runners at Cheltenham over the last two years……

    Some of these starts at Cheltenham have been nothing short of farcical this year A fair few horses races have been lost at the start IMO and it appears a few jockeys have been quite vocal in their dissent and criticism…….lets hope it generates change I won’t my breath though……
