SM is my biggest bet of the fest so far and at 33's. The intention was for place money, but I actually think any horse can win this now.

Hate 5yo in this race but it's become a bad race so you have to consider everything, I'm leaning towards Hargam e/w....

Not sure why SM will reverse form with Old Guard, does anyone else give a chance to P &C, if he settles could be a threat

I disagree MMG

That form with OG was SM's first run of the season, where OG was coming off 2 wins in Nov and Oct so was clearly match fit and in form.

They say SM will improve with the spring ground, but so should OG and Hargam.

And that's why SM will reverse form with OG good answer LR

I have him a few yankees and think he has place possibilities but not sure how resolute he is.

No decision on Annie Power

Ricci is still undecided on the Festival target of Annie Power, with the injury to Faugheen having left the mare favourite for the Champion Hurdle.

Annie Power would have to be supplemented for the opening day's feature race and Ricci said: "I'm really torn about it.

"She looks really well though and if she did run in the Champion Hurdle, we hope she would win it."

But gives her in Champion Hurdle in his Yankee

[TheRowebot]

Annie quite weak on the machine. Just another unexplained blip?

Looks Ok now - the place market is the one I watch - less funds needed to lay on it.

Expect SM to be blue across the board tomorrow...
Both Tom Segal and Andrew McNamara tip up Sempre Medici each way in Champion Hurdle.

Daryl will ride Top Notch and Nico will ride Peace And Co per @dminty13


Peace & Co has a chance then - Jacob just could not handle the horse

I've always thought P &C could be a player if he settles, with the rain continuing it must be looking likely that the opening day going will be no better than good to soft, that surely reduces Hargam's chance
