Like someone said all NH has to say is AB won’t get near champ or birchdale over that trip

Nobody knows until nearer the time.
But today's talk on this thread is what people want to believe rather than reality.

Everything on this whole forum are peoples opinions, not always realistic.
 
I agree MOM.

The Supreme has a crap handicap winner as favourite (not calling Al Dancer crap, the race he contested was. Worse than the one Kalashnikov won IMO) and a 4 year old as second favourite, like, I don't stick to trends religiously but if there was ever a time they were to go out the window, then based on the betting it will be this year. I see the pair of them as false favs myself, think the bookmakers will love that. Klassical Dream has the best 'level' of form (IMO), and given he's only had 2 runs, himself and Angel's Breath are far more likely to improve past the previously mentioned pair (again, my opinion, feel like I have to state this as it's obviously not factual).

The Ballymore has Champ & Battleoverdoyen, that's two Grade 1 winners, sat at the head of the betting, and a horse, in Brewin'upastorm, who was looking likely to win the Grade 2, or at least going close, as joint 4th favourite with Birchdale, the horse who did win that Grade 2. The only horse who is underpriced at the head of the market, based on what they have achieved so far is City Island, who has won two maiden hurdles and a novice hurdle, not exactly top of the line form, but likely priced on his owners and the fact a few 'professionals' have put him up in the media.

That's how I view the current markets, and I know what I would do if I wanted a Cheltenham Festival winner that badly and had both Al Dancer & Angel's Breath in my arsenal.

This sums up my view perfectly. Ballymore is a much tougher looking race. He might just win a Supreme throwing two darts at it, he probably won't win either splitting them up.
 
Nicky confirms Angel's Breath goes for the Supreme, phewwwwwwww!!!

Well that's what one Twitter account said and then the actual quote was “What I would really like is just an ordinary novice hurdle with lots of runners. He will run (at Cheltenham) and I’m pretty sure he’s a two mile horse although I think he’ll get further."

Then Unibet decide to push him out to 13/2, bit of a worry. Sounds like no one has a single clue. Henderson never said the Ballymore once, but his associated bookmaker push the horse out for the Supreme.
 
Unibet are pushing a lot of his runners out today, must be a stable tour boost type thing.
 
Unibet have just tweeted saying they are top price for every henderson horse for the next two hours (till 2pm)

Perfect, them fears are put to bed then about his price with them!

Given that he has now said Champagne Platinum runs in the Ballymore now too I would say it is 80/20 that AB goes Supreme.
 
Owners must listen to what the trainers are saying if they are saying its supreme it would be madness to go against them only get their backs up better having a good working relationship the trainers know best

Hendo has confirmed AB goes Supreme now too.

Yippee.

You'd already seem that, why only 80/20? Haha

Because he mentioned he could go further too. But that was before he put CP in the Ballymore.
 
Great news this fully expected it AB winner of the supreme for me
 
Some one put up Al Dancer, or just because Nicky mentioned it? As he's a sea of blue on Oddschecker.

Maybe or is it just the standard second wave cut that always seems to happen on a Monday morning after a horse has run well at the weekend?
 
Getaway Trump likely goes to Kelso and possibly Aintree. Planning to sidestep Cheltenham at the moment so cash out if you have the choice
