Champion Hurdle 2020

[dthompson114]

HDB said they would keep Honeysuckle in at this stage regardless so no surprise there

[TheEagleHasLanded]

Fair enough - all about opinions. That 8lb is 'just' the weight for age scale so it's not really an 'extra' benefit more a levelling the playing field. I can't see it myself, but then I'm wrong more often than I'm right else I'd be retired somewhere by now!

My point was more that William Hill AREN'T NRNB yet so didn't want you to fall into something antepost that you thought was NRNB.

Yep, sorry I understand the point now, truth is I was messaging a lot of bookies and WH just the one I wrote on here without thinking

No offence taken bud as I didn’t set the price

As I said probably won’t win but I found it interesting that PN had said that.

It’s staggering

Yeah strange to say that, was it not along the lines of he’s rated close to a champion hurdler? As opposed to saying he could go champion.

He was saying how ridiculous the mark was but it didn’t matter cause he weren’t going to a handicap, then he said he’s only 2 pounds off epatante and the plan was the triumph but never say never..... anyway he’s not been supplemented so got all excited for nothing lol

Cornerstone lad being talked up with the bad ground forecast I’ve had a nibble at the 36 on the exchange with a view to laying for stake back if he blasts away in front

Think I'ver narrowed this down to Epatante & Pentland.

Now just take Pentland off and you've got the winner!

What's your system for narrowing the field?

[Shuffdog]

Epatante may well win by plenty but I like the look of Darver Star and Coeur Sublime at the prices in what looks very open. Maybe not the strongest CH but think it's a fascinating race

What's your system for narrowing the field?

I’ve got this down to 2. Things I’ve factored in:

- Irish trained if Hendo has 2 or more
- Trainers who are very good spring festival target trainers with previous CH winners on CV
- New evidence factors such as Supplemented, Previous failures.

I’ve backed them both already & unless they do a 48hr Honey switch I’m happy to go to war with both.

Me too

Forgotten horse.....beats a few much shorter on form and potential to improve

Still think Epatante wins in style and we will be talking about her for next year ......but agree CL one of best value at moment

The two I just can’t go at all lol��

[Faugheen_Machine]

Pentland is the worst priced horse at the festival for me. I just can't have him.
