I see all bids for Impaire Et Pass? were matched on the Churdle market on BFX today up to 9.4. And a few days ago ?600 was placed on IEP for the Turners down to 5.5. Likely means nothing but thought it interesting enough to report.

Maybe they know CH is going Churdle??

I talked about this in my diary. Once CH is confirmed for the Champion Hurdle connections are not going to want to waste bullets. IEP looks made for a fence. Hopefully they go chasing and he ends up Willies Arkle horse.

DRF tickets on sale, €60 for a weekend ticket continues to be cracking value.

Incredible value. I'm really tempted. Not going to the Fez Thursday or Friday now so that's a great substitute.

We went last year for the first time, highly recommend it, just a thoroughly enjoyable couple of days. And you can take your drinks stand side!

What are the Hotel prices like ??
 
What are the Hotel prices like ??

Just been looking and about ?120 - ?160 per night
I've stayed at the Gresham and the academy plaza previously, both around that price and good locations.

There are cheaper places and hostels also.
And others that are pricier of course.

Flight from Manchester around ?120 per person at minute, return.

3 of us go. Stayed in a chain hotel in the centre (nr Parnell St) last year for 3 nights, worked out around 130gbp pp in total. This year in an apartment nr Temple Bar area for 3 nights again, about 150gbp pp. Booked about a year ahead both times. Pretty easy City to get around.

Cheers guys. Very helpful.
 
JTF digital version has just landed.

What you think so far? Had a good read through there today nothing ground breaking on 1st inspection.. He must be short of connections to Cloustton :glee: they don't really feature apart from what's obviously in public domain.

Will sit down properly with it tonight again - likely missed some 2nd reading nuggets
 
Jamie Codd not in it this year? If so That's disappointing too! Or am I being blind?
 
Sends you a link to download a pdf. Fwiw he makes Gala Marceau (MH) his main antepost selection.

Yea he doesn’t see Lossiemouth in the mares and has her as a champion hurdle horse? I don’t see that happening this year myself
