Back her to win the Mares hurdle then. Simples

Wouldn’t be the first or last time we have been ‘put away’ with statements about future plans…..as we as ante post punters know, plans change and frequently!

She will have to have improved her jumping from the schooling reports from a few seasons back and could do so, but if the previous jumping issues are still there then easy to make another statement contradicting the ATR one and IF Wodhooh goes Stayers then where else is BDA going, if running at next years festival?

The Mares hurdle looks to need a 155 plus rated hurdler to win it, so apart from JDG, then all the novice Mares will have to improve by at least a stone to compete, so where’s the realistic competition coming from?

Maybe Oldschool Outlaw would be his one for the Mares?

Not sure if there’s been any quotes about her target next year.

I would think the Martin pipe might be an option too.

Good point, last 2 won by mares

partly cos I missed the related bet with Blow your wad the other day.

I have backed Johnny and Jagwar as singles anyway, but will also be having an each way double with both of these, with Search for Glory in the Irish National as the first leg.

Very speculative odds wise, but the form looks smart enough.

….the 1st and 3rd from last weeks Sefton Hurdle. JJ Sleven post-race suggesting 3m hurdles next season for Zeus Power and taking 25-1 BANC whilst it lasts for the AB winner;

Zeus Power (Stayers)
Johnny’s Jury (BANC)

441-1 PP/BFSB

I can see the attraction in picking good Aintree winners/performances for next years festival but I have to say I've always been wary of this, particularly when it comes to novices.
I just think there are some cheap G1s up for grabs at Aintree, that will sound unfair but the majority of horses in training at G1 level will be aimed at DRF and Cheltenham, Aintree will invariably be an afterthought unless you skip Cheltenham.
Zeus Power could well turn out to be the next Big Bucks, or he could turn out the be the next Dancing City or The Worlds End or Apply Away or Gellino Bello etc...

…..I suppose it can be argued that both of those also performed well at the Festival. JJ won the AB and ZP 3rd in a Turners.

Yes that's true, though making sense of the Albert Bartlett has never been easy and those that have been out since have run horribly, plus the JOB horse went off 50/1 in his Turners so can't have been impressing too many prior to Cheltenham.
We all approach Cheltenham our own way, but personally I generally treat the G1 novice form at Aintree with caution.
If you're getting a price/value now then you're doing nothing wrong obviously, if nothing else you have yourself a trading option...
