December ‘25 Yankee

[Runragged]

I don't think Anzadam should be discounted for the Champion Hurdle. Admittedly went too short a price after State Man was ruled out and on the back of taking on The New Lion and Constitution Hill in the Fighting Fifth. However, gone back out to 20/1 seems an overreaction. Inexperienced horse returning after injury and making his first step up into Grade 1 company whilst also travelling to race for the first time. Travelled well, he looked to just blow up a little in the straight. I'm sure there would have been plenty left to work on and Willie seemed pleased with what he saw. Assuming he runs at Xmas then this may be the last opportunity to back him at a price.

and Air of entitlement who is still 50-1.

Likely to run at Leopardstown or Limerick at xmas then be left till March I reckon.
with Elliott flirting with the champion hurdle with Wodhooh and Lossie looking likely to go there, jade du grugy having gone chasing, she is still massive value.
The 2m 5f on the new course should really suit and is a disadvantage to the more speedier types IMO.
I do think Wodhooh will end up in the mares mind you.

Brighterdaysahead Mares Hurdle? Will they potentially give up on sending her over a fence ?

Possibly, but I for one will not bother with her.
She's stunk the place out twice now, compared to her form on other tracks.

Tough ask this one, value gone for a fair few that we've already seen this season, unless you can forgive some bad or average runs and in turn take some bigger prices (The Yellow Clay for example), but the ones I think are still big enough on what we've seen so far are:

No Drama This End / Love Me Tender (Turners) - No Drama This End runs tomorrow though so likely could be saying goodbye to his price, if he were to win of course.

Jimmy Du Seuil (BANC) - Think this one is pretty obvious. Very little between him and Final Demand at the moment, IMO, yet is still double figures!

Jango Baie / The Jukebox Man (Ryanair) - Really impressed with both of their seasonal reappearances, 7/1 & 16/1 (top prices) are fair, IMO.

Classical Creek (Bartlett) - Will have to take a leap that he is Gordons Bartlett horse, however the trainer has an abundance of possible horses for this race so this one comes with plenty more risks. 25/1 is a right price though, after a very impressive debut over hurdles.

….Classical Creek given a few mentions last month too and could be out this weekend.

Wendigo is likely to go for the Kauto Star at Christmas. If he wins there, the 16/1 for the Brown Advisory will be gone.

….for anybody interested, he’s 20-1 in Hills ‘Road to Cheltenham’ specials.

Her 2nd in the MNH doesn't look too bad on paper now.......

.........and Wade Out must be a decent bet for the NHC after beating him on debut and his gutsy win at Cheltenham next time. Race name checked by trainer as well.

I’m with you on this one have been since last March- great price

I missed the name checked race
Now rated 142 so you would have to assume that he'll be back over hurdles or put out the back of the TV in a big field chase next time, the worry for me would be his jumping, he was close to awful at Cheltenham and could do with a couple more chases for experience, so they'll need a clever plan if they're to stay inside the ceiling....

I was massively taken by Jango on reappearance and fancy him to run well in the king George. There must be a risk hendo sends him to the gold cup if he runs well on Boxing Day, can’t work out which race to back him for at Cheltenham!!
