Champion Hurdle 2020

City Island surely back over hurdles now after his chase display today.

Might not be the fences that are the only problem as he’s running poorly but if he does get rerouted to hurdles, is there a chance he comes here or in the Stayers hurdle?

Prices would suggest the Stayers

He diddnt travel well enough between the fences. Although he was hunted round. When getting behind and asked to move into a more prominent position, There was no response.

Abit harsh. But nothing before or after the ballymore has been of a grade 1 standard. For what ever reason he ran the race of his life there.

He don't look in good shape at all.
 
Darasso entered in the Champion Hurdle Trial at Haydock this weekend. He could yet make up into an interesting contender for this race. His performance in the Red Mills last year was very eye catching.

Have had a bit on at 75-85 on the exchanges.

Going to add a bit at 50/1 with PP and the cash out as well.

Just seen that as well.

How cornerstone lad is 13/2 and ballyandy is 7/2 and even pentland hills at 5/4 is quite staggering imo.

If it wasn’t for it being January (usual cash flow this time of year after Xmas) think that is a cracking bet and would be all over that! 1/4 first 2 as well for a decent enough e/w play.

Completely agree Craigy, Cornerstone Lad is a huge price, at Haydock on heavy ground, could be much much shorter than his 40/1 for the CH after this race.

If Darasso goes for that race at the weekend i'll be heavy involved on him.

Yeah me too. Would love to know if he's travelling. Massive price right now... And surely wont be put off by the likely going.
 
I think i'd be right in saying he'll get weight off the g1/2 hurdle winners as well?

Another one, Supasundae, reappearance and that, but 20-1 with powers for Leop.

Chance that Honeysuckle doesn't go. Envoi won't. Seems a bit overs to me.

If Honeysuckle don't run.
Apples Jade wins again by plenty.
 
I see Pentland Hills is down to run in Unibet Hurdle in Haydock on Sat. Nicky says he badly needed the run the last day and that he traveled like the best horse in the race. Hope Nicky is right....

My fancy for CH but I guess we'll know more after Sat
 
Surely the ground will go against him??

Supasundae will smash her up.

2 miles
3 miles

Chop his wang off and he'll beat her in the Mares.
 
UPDATED 7:33PM, JAN 13 2020

Henry de Bromhead is favouring the PCI Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown on February 1 as the pre-Cheltenham target for Honeysuckle, and the unbeaten mare could face three previous winners with Apple's Jade, Supasundae and Petit Mouchoir also among the 14 entries.

Honeysuckle has had a break since landing the Grade 1 Hatton’s Grace Hurdle by nine lengths at Fairyhouse on December 1, and De Bromhead said on Monday: “She’s in very good form and we’re very happy with her.

“She'll run next in either the Irish Champion Hurdle or the Red Mills Hurdle at Gowran Park two weeks later. At this stage we’re leaning towards the Leopardstown race.”

Apples Jade to the rescue for Lobos then.
 
Supasundae can chase two fannys around leapordstown.
