Champion Hurdle 2020

[Lobos]

Fusil Raffles hurdling was the only positive to come out of his seasonal debut, everything else about his run was pretty rubbish tbh.

14/1 is an insult IMO, you'd be wanting 25's+, or at least I would, to even consider him, still not sure I'd back him at that though.

Bit of an insult saying rubbish. Grand Sancy ain't that bad a yardstick and was 2/2 on the course plus beat hot fav S Royale into 2nd who himself has v good hurdling form. Fusils only just got back working, was running on ground that would have been completely against him and is still relatively inexperienced because of the time he missed last year. I think people will be eating their words after Kempton. I like him

I'm not saying he can't improve but if you're a Champion Hurdle prospect you beat yardsticks even if not fully revved up. Although it was more a dig at the price, as that is a concern.

I have every belief that he will improve for fitness, but this is the top level we are talking about, Grand Sancy should have been beat near enough on the bridle.

Guilty as charged Kev , however 100% transparency should be applauded not gently ? ridiculed �� lol

All “credit” to Charlie for posting first

Getaway Trump is another that divides opinion
I’ve not cashed out but went back in again
Sunday will soon be here

Never post with any malice, absolutely applaud the transparency.

Doesn't mean it can't be wrong though


Can't imagine there is anyone on here I haven't 'gently ridiculed' over something.


I open each thread as a new tab and often find myself agreeing completely with someone in one thread, then wondering how they manage to dress themselves in another..... all part of the fun

I’ve backed Saldier for this so very keen to see how the Morgiana unfolds this weekend. Like others here i’m skeptical how much improvement KD has in the locker this year. Saldier was in the process of beating Espoir before coming down and the vibes from Mullins have been positive. Haven’t backed Sharjah but i’ll look to get him onside before the weekend.

Very intriguing race if they all stand their ground. The AP market is going to be shook up whatever the outcome. Happy days.

Willie on Klassical Dream

He seems in great order. I’m hoping for a good run in the Morgiana Hurdle on Saturday. The rain is coming, which will suit him. He’ll go on good ground, but we prefer juice in the ground for him. He seems to do plenty at home, and we’ve been aiming him at this race, so we’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t run well.

I'd say that's practically bullish by his standards

Klassical Dream, Sharjah & Saldier all declared for the Morgiana

Been a “heavy “ morning on here today soooooo on a lighter note ......
Willie wins The Morgiana -)))))))))

Think at the prices I'm gonna back Sharjah tomorrow.
It's assumed that KD will improve to that level.
So at nearly 5-1 boosted with Lad's it's worth a bet he hasn't quite done so yet.

I thought the exact same. KD has to come up to Sharjah's level not the other way around, so at 1/2 vs nearly 5/1 it's a straightforward play.

Finally taken Sharjah at 25/1, he is one of those horses I cannot seem to catch right but he is still overpriced.

Absolute treat of a race in store tomorrow. Can only imagine what price KD will be if he wins this well. Really surprised at the prices tbh. Expected KD to be a shade of odds against and Ricci's pair to be shorter. They both look value to me and might risk a reverse forcy on the two of them against the fav.

I'm hoping klassical dream absolutely pours it on and smashes them up, with sharjah held up in the arctic fire role to finish 2nd.
I have my reservations about just how good saldier is right now, especially his jumping at a strong pace. But i expect he'll learn and improve throughout the season.

Deffinately a mouth watering race, where until we see it unfold, we just dont know.

[Lobos]

If KD wins this then he'll go very short. Just don't think he will though !

Now so....
