Stayers Hurdle 2018

very sad news for all concerned. That apart, very nice performance from Supasundae.
 
I'd be all but sure bacardys goes here now and with a chance at that. Let's dance could put herself in the mix tomorrow. I wouldn't be in a rush to take on Apple's jade with all my mares especially with the unfortunate nicholls canyon no longer with us.
 
Just seen the racing news , gutted about Nichols canyon .
 
Currently in Australia so haven't managed to see much of the racing but after Annamix I was hoping not much else would go wrong but tbh pretty much all has gone to pot. Do glad I'm not back at home it would be frustrating the hell out of me. NC was another of my most backed horses ante post and am truly gutted for him, he didn't deserve that at all. RIP dude.

Wouldn't consider Let's Dance for this race at all - not a grade 1 mare IMO.

Bacardys however, 33s went fast and 25s probably will go soon.... with the NC news that makes a lot of sense. Don't think I'd be front of the queue to back him on the day as the most likely winner, but defintiely a horse I'd want onside as he'd get considerably shorter if they decide to go hurdling and on the up potentially.

Ruby needs a ride :highly_amused: Penhill updates?

I'd give let's dance a chance with the mares allowance, 3m would suit her for me. And colins sister has ran well enough against the geldings

Penhill a dangerous game, had a nasty injury and far too short because of others around him disappointing.

If I was mullins I'd run.
Let's dance
Bacardys
Tin soldier

Penhill if he's back
Vroum vroum mag a possibility.
Kilultagh vic a possibility

If I was jp I'd run jers girl
And greatrex la bague au roi if it came up softer

So sad Nichols Canyon RIP

I put stayers hurdle between Sam Spinner ,Lami Serge , Supasundae and now possibly Bacardy. Apples Jade or Lets Dance might come here but it would surprise me , as Mares Hurdle the easier race.
 
To be fair I missed out bapaume who travelled well and ran a good race yesterday.
 
Killultagh Vic declared in 2m4f hurdle at Punchestown on Sunday.

Being a 5yo i wouldn't think Bapaume is ready to win a race like the stayers yet.


Killultagh Vic entered over hurdles certainly does tweek my interest. 20/1 Any race I might take if declared

Who is likely to be Henderson's main chance in this? He has the favourite for the other 3 championship races
 
Killutagh Vic makes his return this Sunday over hurdles in a 2m4f race. There's been talk that he could still develop into a Gold Cup hope but personally I think he'd be more likely to head for this race if any at the festival. You couldn't back him beforehand but 25/1 currently (WH) for this, I imagine much bigger on the exchanges? Might be worth hovering over this race if he were to win/run well.

I took Killultagh Vic 22/1 any race with the WH boost after seeing the entry.

I won't after time what I took on the exchange after seeing the original entry :highly_amused:
Might be a pipe opener to go back chasing. have him well covered for Ryanair if he ended up there on the exchanges at a similar price. But it's all a big ask to be fair.

Yeah I as way too late to that party haha. WEighed up 27s Exhcnages, 25s for this race and 22 any race and that was an easy choice.

Not my idea of the winner of anything until we see him though. I fancied him for that seasons JLT as strongly as I can remember anything that far out though
