Champion Hurdle 2020

backed BD with coral 12-1 not a bad saver:highly_amused:
 
Klassical Dream trimmed after that.

Still 6/1 there but a few gone 5/1 and 9/2.


Envoi Allen into 16s in places :highly_amused: :highly_amused: :highly_amused: :highly_amused: :highly_amused: :highly_amused: :highly_amused: - best price only 25s.


This market is absolutely ridiculous.

So when I say it, bad idea, scooby is walking to the shops and you get on :p
 
Buveur D'Air might have come back lame by the sounds of it. Didn't return back to the parade ring and was dismounted straight after that's for sure.

On one hand I wouldn't want to be backing him at all after that. Yes you can make a few excuses for him but the list is starting to mount up for him now. First the shock defeat by Verdana Blue, the fall in the CH. Now this. Even the defeat to Supasundae was below what I expected at Aintree. He had surgery over the summer but his jumping still doesn't look quite right.

On the other hand I see Pentland Hills shorter and Fusil Raffles the same price and in relation to those prices it looks a steal...not that that should mean he is value though?
 
365 have put Epatante in at 10/1.:disgust:

I've heard different.
Buveur D'air told Barry to 'get off' :highly_amused:

Right after the event it's going to look stupid to have backed Buveur D'air based on that performance.

I'm thinking on the day, it will look like it's a good value bet.

I'm building a book for the race so it's easier for me to look at it that way perhaps.

Haha, great plan :p
 
I wonder if Al Dancer is one that could run here.

No chance in an Arkle but this division is worse than the Novice Chase division as we all know :p

Honeysuckle bolts up tomorrow, surely surely, Henry will consider here. 40s and Epatante 10s.

Absolutely.

If I had 365 and fancied her tomorrow, I'd be backing her for the CH at 40's right now, on multiple lines, ready to cash out some for profit and to be sat on potentially a nice ante post ticket.


I did this whenever Quevega said it a week or so ago.
 
The way Hendo was speaking on RTV sounded like that cut may be quite serious on BVD
 
Darasso to the rescue

Buveur not a bet at all until someone confirms his well being

This might sound little mad, but how about Epatante for this?

Can get 33s......and was seriously impressed today, specially with speed at finish....and 2m maybe better than 2.5m in Mares

If forget last festival (flu jab?), very highly regarded and prob only needs to find 7-10 pounds to win. Owner has amazing CH record

Could be wide open year and might be one to have little on in book

Back whatever you personally think. I'd have thought she'd need considerably more than 7 on official ratings.
But if you think she'll improve enough to win a CH. And will run in the race. Then you've solved your own question.

She was only rated in the 130's before yesterday so it's still a huge step up to win the CH. The race looks absolutely gash though.

Ruby alluded to their being plenty of improvement in KD so I'm clinging to the hope that he is still a big player in this
