Showing signs of immaturity here Scooby.
100% you would not stand by it.
Obvious lay material at that price if you're so confident, he's second favourite against a horse with 'worries'

Anyone can assume anything. I wouldnt want to influence others.

I will stand by that, and I'm sure you can guess.


Anyway back to the racing. And I cant see where coeur sublime gets 2 stone from.

same place epatante did.
he's already 5lb on official ratings behind KD and gets three pounds tomorrow.
I'd be worried if I was you.

Especially with how some Mullins animals are running. KD may win but I wouldn't have a penny of anyone's money on him if I was forced to bet in the race. CS has grown and improved hugely this season according to Gordon. He needs to find more but I think he will. He's another I have in my portfolio at big prices and happy with it.
 
Lots of money for Sharjah today and both KD and CS drifting. He can still be added at huge prices for Churdle. Backed him at 28's. Going to be a quarter of that if he wins today. KD and CS could set it up for him nicely by going against each other up top.
 
PP have Klassical Dream 7/1 to win today and in March
Couer Sublime at 25/1
Sharjah at 66/1

Sharjah stands out for those who have not yet bet him.

Sharjah is pretty much pace and ground dependant, then again most are - similar to Klassical Dream

Pace race, the champ hurdle is usually strong, which favours KD more than Sharjah. Ground wise, more inclined to guess it will be soft again based recent renewals. This is why it's so difficult to bet AP unless you have option to cash out nearer the time when conditions are known.

I feel that KD will come on from his last run, and Townsend will take up the running earlier as soon as the pace drops off.
Expecting to see KD improve by 4-5lbs today, although I can image him winning by a length holding off a close second pace.

KD is in need of a strong pace, and slightly more testing conditions, which I'm hoping he will get come March
 
For CS backers I’d be concerned that he’d been beaten 18L by Darasso earlier this year receiving a stone and whilst his last run was impressive, beating Coko Beach is hardly top class form when that one was 43L behind Fakir at Punchestown. I’d be amazed if CS is in the top 3 today.
 
If Couer Sublime wins today I've got no hope of making money in the Champion Hurdle.



I haven't seen a piece of form worth talking about from him yet. 2nd to Pentland Hills in a race that blew up is pants, and beating a handicapper from the same stable is also pants.


I also don't care how much Gordon Elliott says he's improved over the summer, because I've never heard a trainer say a horse hasn't improved over the summer unless they've had an injury.

Just a meaningless comment.



"oh well, to be fair he's actually come back worse than ever, I'm not sure he'll train on at all" :highly_amused:
 
Aramon could run a big race in this now with the ground on the hurdles course now good

Agree. Fitness might tell so Sharjah for me. Petit comes into it as well. Could make all. Don't fancy KD chances. He could be pulled as well
