He had Melon/Faugheen in the Marsh and then Allaho/Easy Game in the RSA this year, so no reason why he wouldn't go double handed in the race, IMO.

He also has Aione & Lieutenant Rocco (as confirmed someone on the forum) who are two horses that look more likely to go the NHC trip.

It would be a strange move to go for the NHC with The Big Getaway, IMO, as he's certainly keen enough over shorter as it is.

I'm almost certain he was in the John Ferguson book as still with Tizzard, but perhaps that has changed since the print...

From previous comments he's still recovering. Had a horrific injury, potentially career ending but sounds like he is going to come back. Doubt we'll see him until New Year though.

Probably, but swear I read someone on here saying he is with Willie, I'm doubting what I read :highly_amused:

I need to find it.

Not too many shocks. Allart going chasing as opposed to staying Hurdles, DDC also chasing maybe. Biggest thing for me is he is still talking potential Champion Hurdle for Shiskin, chasing more likely depending on how he schools it seems.

Yeah maybe I'm being too cautious but it seems they haven't even done enough work over fences to cement decision to go chasing. A real spanner in the works if goes CH!

Maybe I'm taking trainers words too literally like a mug, but small bet on Allart 50/1 in Arkle Maries rock 33/1 in Mares Hurdle
 
I did like the bit on Flintre Sacre........'nearly as much ability as his illustrious brother'... wow, that is some statement. I do think he'll be his number 1 Supreme horse in March. Might have to top up on him !!

I don't think this is a bad bet tbh :encouragement:

Although she seemed full of pace, so the CH could also end up the option.

Not a bad double those two !
 
Little bit disappointed Mister Coffey isnt being sent over fences, I thought he could be a bit of a dark horse for Hendo's dads race. Would have preferred him over fences but there could still be a nice race over hurdles for him.
 
Buveur Dair At the races stable tour

He had a wedge of hurdle stuck in his hoof which resulted in an extremely complicated procedure to remove it. He had a very large part of the hoof cut away and was taken back to Martinstown where he continues his rehabilitation and it hard to say if he will come back. Only time will tell but it would be great if he could have a crack at a third Champion Hurdle.

According to Hendos Blog BD has been back in the yard since the 19th September so a lot of these quotes could be 3 weeks old at least or a lot longer considering he wasn't sure if he would be back at the time of the AT The Races stable tour.
 
Anyone backed Shishkin for the Champion Hurdle ?

I think he'd need to seriously disappoint over fences to remain over hurdles. You could probably get 33/1 on the champion hurdle but I can't see it happening.

Henderson has already said that Shiskin would be good enough to win a Champion Hurdle. He said the same re Altior. They do seem intent on a chasing career though. I've got him TWAR but only at 5.5/1. If he were to go Churdle he'd be 2nd fav without doubt.

Can’t get anything over 20/1 for the Champion Hurdle - it was previously higher on the exchange but has been backed. I had a great price for Buvuer Dair for his first Champion Hurdle after he started that season over fences - and have to admit I’m wary of history repeating itself...

When I checked the exchanges there's a massive gap between the back and lay. You could post up 34.0 and it would almost certainly get matched.

He already has the favourite in the Champion Hurdle so can see why he's angling to go down the Arkle route.
