World Hurdle Thread 2015

[mayo]

Glad to hear Briar Hill is Ok after his fall. Seems to be a lot of horses going to the meeting of an imperfect prep.

More of that back on track ?

[Yeehaa]

Got to be tempted to aim Annie here now.

Was there a smidgen of hope in the announcement ?

More Of That galloped at Compton this morning with AP [McCoy] in the saddle and pleased everyone with his work.

"But when he returned to the yard he was found to have bled and as things stand I would have to say that he is now an unlikely runner at Cheltenham as time is not on our side."

Binocular and Kicking King type recovery possible ?

Nicholls is realy bullish about Zarkandar I've noticed, could be a decent bet to nothing at 5/1 ew

Is he better than last year. ? MoT had 8.5L on him last year. I wouldn't be worried about the other two thwt finished in front of him.

Who's your fancy OV?

I think the winner this year will again be a WH rookie.

I think he probably is better this year than last, his run in France against Gemix was quite impressive with him staying really well, Nicholls reckons he's come on a fair bit from that

He probably has improved from last season and so has many PN's horses. Zarkander is a positive in this race.

Any news on Hendersons trio ? Not much support on Betfair which probably tells the story.

Zarkandar is a dog.

Zarkandar is a dog.

I wouldn't mind having a dog like him

Nor me. One of my favourites this horse. Has won four grade ones and four grade twos over hurdles and amassed nearly £800k in prize money. How many other "dogs" entered in the world hurdle have achieved as much?

[Hoof]

Zarkandar has finished 2nd and traded in running at 1.01, 1.1, 1.55 and 1.45 since Nov 2013. That is houndish form.

[Lessey]

Top stat hoof!

It's hard not to like zarkandar but for one so good he perhaps doesn't win enough, the long walk being a prime example
