Champion Hurdle 2020

[Quevega]

None of that bag of shit in the international will be winning a champion hurdle any time soon.

Definitely agree

See Call Me Lord has been declared for the International tomorrow, so Hendo is prepared to try him left handed. Been a big fan of this horse for some time and in hindsight think a strongly run 2 miles is the trip for him. In anticipation of the declaration I asked 365 to price up the CHurdle earlier in the week but they quoted a paltry 16/1. Billy’s have him at 40s which I think could be huge if he can prove his effectiveness left handed and over the course. Taken a chance with the boosted 40s for this and backed at 5s e/w tomorrow.

Thanks for this MS. I didn’t have a strong opinion on today’s race. I don’t think we’ve seen a champion hurdler today but I was happy to follow you in on a winner with call me lord

Chtibello is an 8, going on 9 year old handicapper, that is hit and miss IMO.

I'd expect Pentland Hills to take of him. Call Me Lord would be the one I'd be interested in of the rest.

Like that!

Klassical Dream @ 4/1 (not much left of that) is starting to look alright

From this thread earlier in the week, was that this race has produced one Champion Hurdler in the last 45 years (Rooster Booster). So from this year we should expect nothing.

Nice one SA! Agree unlikely to be winning a CHurdle on today’s performance but do think he’ll improve again for a stronger pace. Nice profit from today and happy with 11s for a place on this... not inconceivable in such an open year.

 

[Saxon Warrior]

Ballyandy and Call Me Lord are pretty much level on that run, on soft ground. As usual this grade 2 is unimpressive.

If it gets much worse it could be downgraded.

The only plus I can take out of todays race is Elixir De Nutz. Ran well jumped well for a long way but couldn't see it out. Looking forward to seeing it race next time out.

With how weak this race is looking from the main protagonists I can see Envoi Allen or Honeysuckle chancing their arm here

Here we go again......

Just my opinion. A very open race!

You probably weren’t aware but it’s been done to death on here. For good reason though and were Honeysuckle mine she’d be in here cause the division looks incredibly open. Unlikely but we’ll see

 

[Kautostar]

People seem to be overlooking the obvious here in that Mullins still has a strong hand. I know saldier has had a setback but presuming he’s ok and runs paired with Klassical dream I don’t think there will be anything to beat them both. Hopefully Klassical dream wins well over Christmas and sends all the handicappers back to the handicaps

I apologise for the repetition. Maybe there is something in it though if people on here with a much better expert eye than me are saying it.

No need to apologise, you weren’t to know. People have discussed it at length and with the state of that market who can blame them

As someone who doesn’t follow the flat do Chevley Park tend to “roll the big dice” as John Gosdon describes it with their horses?

 

[The King Pimm]

For 2 consecutive Saturdays Ruby on ITV has highlighted KD as the horse that will improve and be the horse that can realistically win the CH. I’m going to try and get him involved in a few doubles with current Favs to double the odds on him. I think he will improve and I’m looking forward to his next run over Christmas hopefully.

If he wins at Xmas v Sharjah and Coeur Sublime then he'll be back on track. Lose and they may divert him to Stayers

Nicky H was very sweet on " Fusi " after the International yesterday .
another one that was discussed in detail here recently.
