I do not disagree with anything you say here but I still think his best chance of winning one race is Wodhooh in the Mares.

I was of the mind she stays at 2 1/2m until beaten, then she was beaten... Depends now how much credence is given to the end of season Punchestown race. I suspect it will be a case of see how her season starts. Still quite a jump from competing against own sex to grade 1 Stayers however, especially for a yard that has struggled for winners at the Festival the last couple of years.

….i’m thinking we put next months Yankee in the members section regardless, it doesn’t really matter if it’s finalised in Oct?

Baron Noir to go Novice Chasing. Another top Novice Hurdler from last season to add to the list !
 
I’d be very surprised if wodhooh goes stayers myself
Gordon has only had one winner in each of the last 2 festivals so she’ll go for the easiest race.
Could be the stayers but the mares without Lossie looks far easier as it stands right now.

I think that's the obvious conclusion and the markets pretty much reflect that, but you have to say Teahupoo is probably regressing so he won't have an obvious Stayers horse, they'll probably look to swerve Lossie if she gets to Champion Hurdle fit so Brighterdaysahead to the Mares would look an obvious switch which could then push Wodhooh to the Stayers.
I'm not sure which would be a tougher race, level weights against the girls or getting 7lb against the boys at a trip I think she'll improve further for.
20/1 doesn't scream massive value but if all that plays out I think she'd be fav on the day so could be a nice trading voucher...

The BDA and Wodooh double was an obvious play. Think now you'd be better waiting and seeing where Wodooh goes before. As she'd need to be trying 3 miles beforehand somewhere you'd think. And there's likely related bets that'll be more interesting at that point. Than 20/1 speculative now.
