Whilst you are talking about reference books does anyone subscribe to Raceform Interactive? I’m looking to get the NH one but cannot see it.

Last year, Paul pretty much gave it all away for free on The Final Furlong podcast. Never bought his but OJA is packed with info from various sources. I buy the Timeform one too. Nowhere near as good as OJA but it's good in its own right, and you can never have too much literature when it comes to what us lot are trying to do :D

Re The New Lion. Am I right in saying the last winner of the Ballymore that went on to run in the CH the following year was Faugheen?

He was the last one yeah and winners of both races are hard to come by.

I think only Faugheen & Hardy Eustace are the only two in the past 25 years to win both.

I think The New Lion is a far cry from Faugheen & Hardy Eustace, personally. That said, the Champion Hurdle could be a bit broken too.

Lossiemouth - Will she even go?
State Man - Probably the stand out now, was going to win it well this year.
Constitution Hill - Got a lot to prove now.
Golden Ace - Admirable for connections, big ask to follow up, should all stand their ground and stay up!
William Munny - Same bracket as The New Lion for me. I feel the Supreme was better than the Turners, so probably represents value if of the same opinion.
Anzadam - Fragile?

Anzadam is the one for me. Not remotely even entertained at backing anything else at the prices but as you say, potentially fragile and might not even stay over hurdles. At this stage it is a no bet race for me antepost. Will probably only make a move on it after the DRF and even then there might not be much point from a price perspective

Proper open looking race isn't it. Really think they should give it a go with Kopek. Many pundits have said the Supreme this year was absolutely top class . If that's the case then let him take his chance.
