2023 Stayers Hurdle

Aye, it's an interesting little contest. Be interesting to see the reaction to the result in the Stayers market given its 2m 4f and fairly big swings in weight.

Bob O the only one of the three I've not backed for the Stayers. So a single on him on Sunday is probably my play. Hopefully wins in a three way photo :rapture:
 
I'd love to see Flooring win well. Gavin reckons he's better than ever. If that's true then maybe he will. He'd go very, very short if he blitzed them.

It would also be nice if he got beat as his price might drift and we can all get stuck in even more :greedy_dollars::greedy_dollars:

Maybe, as long as he doesn't get stuffed

I'm in pretty deep on him so rather see him win it. Exciting times.
 
…re Lismullen Hurdle, PP offer;

FP win Lismullen/Christmas H (Leop)/Stayers 14-1
Bob O Lismullen/Stayers 14-1
 
Cromwell wins the opener at Cheltenham today! Some form he's in, near getting to the point I'm going to follow some of his entries blind!

Reason I post in here, if his stable star is in as good as form, then those hoping for a defeat and a price push may need to rethink their strategy!

Surprised Bob has opened up as short as he has for the Lismullen. FP probably the least to prove, and should be favourite on what we know.

Ashdale Bob @ 8/1 ... getting 7lb from Flooring Porter too. Would be very interested in him in the place market.

He was 10/3 earlier in week, so imagine it might not have taken much money to get him in shorter. Expect he'll drift between now and the race

If flooring porter wins on Sunday paddy power will surely pay out on him to win this :boxing:

Might have had something to do with him taking the first fence with him !
 
Anyone have the winner?!

Bob was untidy at some of his hurdles but travelled well. Not sure what to think of it so I'll have to watch it again.

The way Bob travels suggests he'll be fine in a Stayers. Just whether he sees the race out.

No idea how fit any of them are for their first run of the season either, so it will be interesting to see how they come on for that.

Bob's head carriage makes him a handful for his jockey, that's for sure.
 
Paddypower pushed bob out to 16s for the stayers, overreaction surely?
