2017 Stayers Hurdle

Is this Clondaw Warrior's target? His 2 runs over 3m look solid. 12/1 nrnb

Yes, Mullins said recently it was the target and he'd be a lively outsider.

That looks a nice bet really - if he turns up bound to be shorter. Looking at it now 4 out of the 6 ahead of him in the market are Mullins horses, and id guess only 1 or 2 of them will turn up as 2 are Ricci and 2 are Wylies.

Also i'm wondering what price do we think on UNWIMH if he wins the cleeve? I seem to remember THistlecrack hitting around 5/4 after his Cleeve win and i think was 5/2 prior.

[Kevloaf]

Although not as classy or sexy as Thistlecrack it will be difficult to say that price wouldn't be fair if he wins the Cleeve well.

Thistlecrack was loads of peoples banker and I think odds against was tremendous value last year after the Cleeve. Connections probably accounted for part of that (wrongly) but with this being a JP horse he won't get that luxury.

Hopefully UNWIMH will win well, and hoping the bookmakers will push VVM out a little bit for me in reaction to that Wishful thinking on my part!

There is a Flat race in Dubai also on Clondaw's to do list. Not sure if mutually exclusive.

Im very interested in CW for this race, but concerns of a flat campaign puts me off backing him at the moment.

[Kevloaf]

If CW didn't have the connections he'd be 25/1+ .... just turning up for the craic. Always going to be a lesser light in the yard. Not one I'll cover even at 25/1

Ballyoptic isn't in the betting on oddschecker.... Have I missed an announcement on him?

[ComplyOrDie]

No news re: Ballyoptic yet that I have seen FM. Strange. Have seen a few people on Twitter questioning the same as you with Oddschecker.
