Champion Hurdle 2027

8lb is a big pull. Be good to see last year's juvenile form put to the test and she is a C/D winner so it's no pushover. Everyone is dismissive of Nicky's horse as well who has some very good back form.

Be tactical and maybe he's not suited to that or lacks the class to cope.
He should be winning it comfortably though, shouldn't he ?
He's rated 20lb higher than the second Fav, and Lucky Place will be outpaced after a mile.

Oh yeah. Expect him to win and win well. He's overpriced IMO.

The CH form is of course on show so the others have it all to do. He finished just 3 lengths behind Brighterdaysahead in the CH giving her 1/2 stone after making a real hash of the last. His run at Ascot off 12 stone giving lumps of weight to Willful stands out as well.

After Skeltons comments re TNL, I’m wondering if he and/or JP spotted an opportunity to win some grade 1’s over 2m, before stepping up in distance in the new year?
That might make it a tad more interesting

If they win a few at 2m will they step up in the new year?

Imo depends on Lossiemouth
Without her they may well stay at 2m, but I think they know he’s not a true 2 miler.
To my eyes he’s not anyway,but if the opportunity is there, I can see them going for it.
With the novices it looks like they have the best one from last season staying hurdling(though possibly Idaho Sun may be), so really it’s just the two mares that beat him this year, and I don’t think BDA would stop them, just Lossie.
 
G'wan Alexei !! .. 😁😁👍.
I wonder what ridiculous price they cut him to ??.
 
Yeah he's ran to his mark at best.
And beat no other champion hurdle rivals.
Bookies cutting him that much after that are just fishing for mugs.

It's a difficult race for them to price. He's not good enough to win on all known form, but he's a guaranteed runner in what will likely be a small field.

I wouldn't want to be laying 20s each way.
