2015 Champion Hurdle

on the night that is in it :)

I'm on the fence but have been persuaded that Faugheen is the most likely winner.

Does anyone think The New One will win ?

I think he'll put in a massive performance. If there are any chinks in Faugheen's armour then I think he will be the one to expose them (provided there isn't a faller in front of him again).

Hope they all come back safe this year as well after last years tragedy.

I can agree with that. He might even be better next year with a few more runs :)

There are offers around 3/1 for him to win 2016 champ hdle, seems a bit stingy with many forecasting a higher starting price on the day this year, not sure that will happen myself
 
I wish Tenty was here this year then I could watch him cruising down the hill pulling McCoy's arms out and finish 2nd again!

I have just watched the re run of Faugheen's race last year.

Impressive, but he made a big blunder three or four from home. He won't get away with that in the Champion Hurdle.

I think his jumping has improved from last year but the jumping error element is there in all the leading horses in this race apart from Hurricane Fly, he is about the quickest over the hurdles I can remember.
 
Day 1 yankee selection, have to change because my original pick was The Young Master who looks more like going to the RSA.

So, selection is Hurricane Fly.
Has done it twice, has arguably the best form this season, is, I would say, comfortably the best jumper in the field, seems in better form than last year at the same time, slight niggle in run up to last seasons fez, Mullins confident he'll run a big race, no doubt about his target, and could be first 11 year old to win this since Sea Pigeon

We are only 14 days away from the CH and we still have rain most days. HF fans must be praying the weather stays like this. :encouragement:
