2017 Champion Hurdle

Who is the most likely winner on good ground? Or who wants it most? Brain Power? Cht'bello?

What is the most likely going (Good, good to soft in places) - almost a certainty now?

Of the 12 horses left in this, I have 10 covered..... guess which 2 I am not on :highly_amused:

Some re-adjusting needed here!
 
Ruby Walsh will ride Limini in the Mares' Hurdle and Footpad in the Champion Hurdle. Paul Townend on Vroum Vroum Mag and Wicklow Brave
 
I'm still so so surprised that Rich Ricci has opted out of having a runner here in VVM. He's won it the last 2 yrs and just gives up on trying at least to retain it. I'm baffled I really am.

He would have ran her if he thought she had a chance - reading between the lines, I'd say she hasn't been pleasing them since Donny.

and Yanworth was probably still Stayers bound at that time. That only changed after Hennessy meeting.

Money is down on him today by looks of it.

Anyone else think Buveur d'air is a good price for this now after his owners comments about his performance over fences?

33/1 at the time and didn't have a penny :disgust:

On but much lower than 33s. I put up the post in here about they were considering switching him back to hurdles based on Colemans comments after his 2nd race over fences but like the clown I am didn't pull the trigger quick enough for the huge prices :(

A very good stat that has saved me an awful lot of money over the last few years is A.King 1/82 over hurdles, no thanks.

And it saved me a pile of cash this year as well.

Yep, they both highlighted when some 16s NRNB was available with racebets, 12s with 365's (just been through to check as I rememebr posting about getting on at the time)

Cannot stress enough, how effective the NRNB concession is about a horse who would be shorter if they did switch target.... well done to KSS and OV for mentioning it.... I will be all over this again and again and again...

So what do we think the chances are that Yanworth was actually pumped full of sleeping tablets not anti inflammatories?
