Stayers Hurdle 2018

[Robbante]

Shaping up to be the most open race of the festival this for me (barring handicaps). Can make a decent case for the following 11 to varying degrees, and i'd expect at least 9 of the 11 to line up:

Sam Spinner
The Worlds End
Supasundae
L'ami Serge
Penhill
Yanworth
Wholestone
Bacardys
Le Bague Au Roi
Finian's Oscar
The New One

Any thoughts on the Cleeve?

[doctorwu]

Bit of an odd one this but I think Ex Patriot might outrun his price (33s) in the Cleeve

Doctor. Had a whisper ew for that last week

Got told to back it ew for the triumph last year @50s. Several of my mates did nicely with 4 places. Thankfully I backed the winner.
Its has an unusual profile in so much as you would have expected them to go down the AB instead of losing its novice status.

Agree with that.
Not often championship races are competitive to the point where there are multiple serious contenders but if that lot go to post it'll be a hell of a race...

Such mixed form as well amongst that lot that it’s impossible to have a confident fancy. Sam Spinner is the right favourite as he seems so progressive and has had a smooth enough build up this year, the worlds end would be my biggest winner and I’m confident will be a lot closer on good spring ground. But the likes of Penhill and Bacardys could bring anything to the race, and Supasundae is solid

[Istabraq]

I can't have Sam Spinner, trainer is my problem with his chances.
Gun to my head I'd be backing Wholestone....

Uknowhatimeanharry probably deserves a mention too. And Lil Rockerfellar.



For me, Finians Oscar and L’Ami Serge look the best bets NRNB at 9/1 and 10/1 out of the current market.

Wide open race probably best left til the day now.

Bacardys ew (1/4 1-3) 14/1 NRNB BOG

I think you can make a case for Lil Rockerfeller (as Ista says), and UNWIMH and Beer Goggles too....

I can't rule out any of those at the moment which is why I am in the position I am in

Already have UNWIMH and Lil rockerfeller backed from earlier in the season Can’t be having beer goggles but wouldn’t begrudge them a victory with him after todays news

A lot of different angles covered with that line up.

Will see the let's dance theory tested...
Percy over hurdles is an odd move
Diamond Cauchois already fav for a handicap
Alpha des Obeaux i hadn't considered but that's interesting too
Obviously Bacardys of interest.

All expected to run?

All set to run. Will be interesting to see prices. Let's dance could be possibly overpriced ew
Assuming bacardys will be pretty short around 11/8 fav.
