Foxhunter Chase 2020

Any would be Hazel Hill backers - whilst he’s now a best price 6/1 you can still get 7.5/1 in the ‘Win any race’ market with Hills using their boost (7s without)- at least until they rectify their mistake :encouragement:

Nice one pal, cheers

I don't follow hunter chases a great deal, is hazel hill all that?

I'd say he is. I think the 6/1 is value.

Hes a 7/2 chance at best antepost. And likely shorter than that on the day. (7/4 15/8)

Is the favourite not massively overpriced here at 8/1 still?

I’m on him at bigger (12s I believe) but after his main rivals in the betting all got beat at Down Royal yesterday, I expected him to have shortened to nearer 11/2. Not a lot of horses go back to Cheltenham after winning the fox hunters and win at the April meeting and he did. Even more impressively was the fire conditions at Cheltenham that day.

Back in March he was a clear cut winner and ran his rivals ragged. A lot of winners of that race come from far back but he led from start to finish impressively. Before that he had an excellent pointing record (was on a 8 race winning streak at the time wasn’t he?).

I’m going to have to go back in at 8s because I have to think that it’s a bit of value from everything we know about the race. That’s the benefit with this race, we know the likely field for most of the season. There’s not going to be any massively surprising runners diverted to this that we hadn’t expected. I was deep in this race in 2018 with Burning Ambition as a lot of the forum may remember. But I really believe Hazel Hill wins this again this year.

Hazel Hill @ 8/1

With this bet, the bit at 10s (wasn’t 12s) and the bet on Wishing and Hoping at 22s, I’m now very deep in this race on these two.

In fact, it’s one of my bigger antepost races of the week at this stage.

More than happy to go to war with just the two.
Hazel Hill @ 10/1 & 8/1
Wishing and Hoping @ 22/1 E/W

Unfortunately not - it’s with Hills.

I just hope he turns up. All the talk of ‘next years’ Foxhunters horse is silly from connections. Simply because they have Hazel Hill. Run them both for crying out loud.

They basically want time to sort out his jumping and keenness.
 
Has anyone heard anything recently about Shantou Flyer? As long as he's well and being trained for this race I'm happy to take the 16s on him and have him and Hazel Hill at 7s as my two darts at this race

I looked at him yesterday, but maxwell has a few now and no idea how many he'll run, as he can only ride one of them.

Think he has already said he will be riding Bob & Co hasn't he? It was a while ago, and I know plans could change, but he seemed pretty certain.
