County Hurdle 2019

This race could really get cut up...

Wonder laish could be a NR (will hill preview not me)
Uradel martin pipe maybe
Monsieur Lecoq running tomorrow
Dream Du Grand Val running tomorrow

thats the 1st four in the betting that could be pulled, hope they decide to run whiskey sour again here as I think he would have a great chance and will be heavy backed for it.. was a good 3rd last year & the ground should be a bit better.. But knowing my luck he will go to the coral cup, but personally I think 2m 1f would suit him better than 2m 5f..

Just been looking at this race and thinking the same.
Have backed Wonder Laish & Whiskey Sour & Eclair & Leoncavallo
But it looks like cutting up pretty bad and the last three will likely end up in top 6 in the betting. If they get declared that is.

...wow, really encouraged somebody else has mentioned Leoncavallo as i’ve been on about it here for a while. Backed it @ 50-1, I know this was the plan for the season, no doubt about the target.

Sorry added one more, Vision D'honneur but surely he goes supreme..

I heard whiskey being talked about a lot a few weeks back, by Blake I think, but he was saying the coral cup, but surely with this rain and how badly this race will cut up vs the coral, whiskey comes here.. but this is Mullins bingo.. hope he does as I have jerrysback 25s and he has been backed down for the ultimate and the two favs in the last two handicaps of the meeting, so if whiskey comes here it could be a nice e/w heinz...

It was 7/1 Wonder Laish (from as big as 25/1) and double the rest of the field.

No information given out and nobody shocked. Says everything about the operation.
 
...50-1 ticket for Malaya but Cobden suggesting it won’t go for the bonus. Never mind.

Edit; Nicholls suggesting they might go for it. That’s the way, Paul.

Fingers crossed they do give it a go.

Nicholls saying she's tough....

A possibility :)

Bloody well done whoever put it up at 50s NRNB. I know a few are on, love it!
 
So happy with Malaya today, now hope she goes to Cheltenham, they can't go quick enough over 2m for me for her. She has a high cruising speed and stays enough for 2m.

Backed her for the race today so she's done me well regardless now though.
 
Yep. Fingers crossed she runs next Friday as I also have a medium sized double with Magic Saint in the GA (50s and 9s both nrnb). PNs horses are looking in great form, just hope he's not peaked too early.

What a great SP today. I'm absolutely buzzing after that.
 
Replaced WL with Uradel in this.
Should get in here now.
 
Uradel needs further than 2 miles, doesn't he?

Don't think it matters , pace and ground will help.
Just need to cover it just in case they do run here, as got whiskey sour also (same owner) expect one of them to run.

I think he'll be much better over further than 2 miles. Malaya has to be a player in this if she recovers from today. She travels like a dream.
 
All my original picks nom runners so went in on Ch'tibello!
 
Still big on Whiskey Sour here should he turn up. I have him covered in the Coral as well but I think his best chance lies in this.
 
I only have whiskey covered In the coral..... be gutted if he ran here!
