Had it in my mind that Sam's profile wouldn't come over for the Festival , so pleased to see that F_M.

Champ, the Grade 1 winner replaced in places as favourite for Saturday's Ballymore Novices' Hurdle by stablemate Birchdale, is still in contention for the Cheltenham contest, the pair's trainer Nicky Henderson said on Tuesday afternoon.

]: "Champ or Birchdale will run. They're both owned by JP and in the same boat.*They did a bit of work this morning and I'll talk to JP, but we'll run one of the two."[/B]

"The champ" does need to go again.
Why not run them both and see if birchdale gives him a hiding on the track aswell as at home.

If birchdale runs on Sat and when he beats jarveys plate etc.... He should be fav. Because he'd have done more than "the champ"

Would love to see them both run so Champ can send Birchdale packing to handicaps with Rathill. :devilish:

Have him covered for the Martin Pipe & was waiting for him to step up in class or even have an entry in at graded level before I played this race but Segal is after forcing my had this morning, the clueless twat. Hopefully it's a case of one of this being one of the pieces of shit that sticks for him :highly_amused:

Ballymore: City Island 33/1 e/w
 
Anyone heard anything recently about Diese Aba? Looked really impressive when winning at Chepstow in November, with several subsequent winners in behind. Is he injured or ground dependant maybe?

Hasn't had a single entry since. But looked a nice horse.
 
Emitom not running sat , going to Huntingdon on the 7th trainer states this morning .
 
Birchdale runs sat. Champ doesnt.

To keep everyone updated as best as we can, we have decided that Birchdale will run @CheltenhamRaces on Saturday because he needs to gain plenty more experience and Saturday’s race is ideal. Champ would just be having a run for the sake of it so will not go.

Perfect.
Hopefully he beats brewinupastorm further than champ did and goes fav. Jarveys plate is greater opposition than him imo. So imo this would be a better race than champ won.
