I have got the following for the Champion Hurdle, in the search for improvers to take over from the old guard.
Fusil Raffles 56/1 & 22/1
Backed Fusil first on the day of his Punchestown win, on the basis that he was the most impressive juvenile in spite of separate hold-ups before each of his two graded wins.
He has been my preferred choice since the start of May, but as can be seen by the bets below, I’ve wanted to cover more bases.
Klassical Dream 8/1
His Supreme win was impressive, so went in before Espoir D passed away as a back up with a different form strand and Festival form.
I really wasn’t taken by his seasonal debut, now have doubts about his jumping and ability to improve beyond his 160 rating much more.
Couer Sublime 25/1, 20/1
Took him onto the roster after visually impressive seasonal debut, and back catalogue of good course run in the Triumph, in the hope of improvement. We find out next week if there is any.
Saldier 8/1
Backed in the aftermath of his seasonal debut win, but the lack of news from Willies stable prior to not being declared at Christmas sounded loud alarm bells that he isn’t doing well and they didn’t want to let anyone know.
Not backing out of any at the moment, but could cashout Couer Sublime if he bombs next week.
Still think Fusil could be ‘the one’, that feeling could be harshly tested at Kempton next week, although he looked very impressive at the track when winning, despite a huge cut on his leg, in February.

Well somebody agreed because the best available is 40s!
