I threw Proschema into a small Multi today , Has an entry at newbury next friday 3m Long distance hurdle .
Not looking good for the Above three . although i rewatched the replay earlier and Might I was stopped completely after the last and managed 7th .
so give him another chance.....
.Henry still seem's to think that 3miles is what bob want's . again in a small multi at this stage , .
Wait and see , what entries Langer dan gets .... got him as a small single .
But , yes could be F.p's to Lose at this stage ??.
 
….ahead of the Morgiana, I noticed Mullins saying Saldier needs further these days. He did try him over 3m last Christmas but was pulled up early after a few mistakes.

While agreeing that you wouldn't back him with cash until NRNB, I think it's quite significant that Blazing Khal has been steady at 6/1 even after the injury announcement. It suggests that the money which took him in from 8/1 came from the right faces.

Exchange tells a different story.

Going to put this here and in the Gold Cup thread - Shark Hanlon on Hewick - RP Members:

All is great with him. He's on a break with TJ [McDonald, owner] and will come back to me on January 1. We'll prepare him then for Cheltenham and he'll go without a run beforehand.

He deserves a break, even if it is only six or seven weeks, after a great year and you're only roughly ten weeks to Cheltenham when he comes back in. We can look to do a breeze or two at some of the tracks or point-to-point courses.

The Stayers' Hurdle is an option for him at Cheltenham – it's an open division and I'm not sure it's great – so I'll definitely be giving him an entry for that and the Gold Cup. We'd love to have a runner in the Gold Cup but if I thought he'd win the Stayers' Hurdle, I'd have nothing against going there either.

….Hewick a best price 33-1 for this with Hills, 20-1 elsewhere.
 
Yep. Absolutely no point whatsoever getting involved until the week itself as he'll be a backable price whatever he goes for.

Cracking race between two former Cheltenham winners there. Can't have either for the festival, but they delivered a belter there.
 
Love PP, what a horse.

Thyme hill will surely go back over hurdles now after being hammered by mcfabulous today over fences

Jumping fences looks a real effort for him

And there is zero strength in the British staying hurdles division

He could easily win a good pot or two back over hurdles

wouldnt be surprised at all if he lined up in the long walk hurdle in a few weeks time

Unlikely he wins this but at 25s could easily be a trading opportunity
