I'm heading to it as well DE. Hope this cold snap doesn't cause any issues.

I can't have Constitution Hill at all, and i think this might be the last time we see him on a race track.

Yeah fingers crossed, I'm aboit an hour away from Newcastle and our forecast warms up next week.

I'm the same part of the reason I am going is to either see him bounce back or see him last run.

Morgiana entries have shaken things a bit.
Just shows how quickly things can change and trying to map out the season at this early stage is probably daft.
It's more about patience and positioning for now I reckon.
Strong opinions are for early February.

100%

Plenty of speculative related multiples for me so far but I'm not getting caught out by costly late switches this season.
 
Very interesting news. Last season, Willie said she didn't perform at Kempton because they had been training her as a 2 and a half miler and she couldn't lie up. If that was true then he is training her for the Champion Hurdle me thinks
 
Id imagine he decided to split up lossie and ballyburn once it was clear anzadam wasnt running.

The key race for lossies destination is still the DRF. She wins there she surely goes champion. Gets beat she goes mares.

Good money for Anzadam for FF which hopefully suggests he's ok for those that have him backed or at least that he's been given another week to come forward.

At least Two Huge bubbles will be burst in the FF and the markets are going to be shaken right up.

Not sure the Morgianna will have as much an effect. What an awful turn out that is !!!

If Lossiemouth does go CH and both Jade and Kargese go chasing, Willie will struggle to win the Mares Hurdle in March. Next best in betting for him is Murcia who for me just ain't good enough.

Will they be burst?
Course its possible, but also possible that all will come out the race with hopes for the festival still there
Be great if that were the case

Last 3 attempts at 2 miles shes lost two & fell in the other, Last 5 races at 2m4f shes won head in chest.
He can train her to not be keen in her races, but he can't make her any faster, I think she'll be the best of what he has at 2 miles, but same as last year, when it comes time to pull the trigger they'll take the mares hurdle win.
Be interesting to see how close Irancy can get to her though..

Be great but very unlikely

Well I’m looking at the race and if TNL, CH and Anzadam turn up, finding it difficult to call, fair few outcomes possible spring to mind,and not confident about any of them!!
Would not be a shock to me if it’s close between them.
Basically I have no idea
