Champion Hurdle 2020

[Muswell]

Getaway Trump has had a wind op and hoping to be back for Scottish champion hurdle so highly unlikely to be seen here

[Kevloaf]

Should melon not go for this?

A bit of a waste of his Novice Chase season if he did?

One to consider though.... the 20/1 NRNB is probably fair?

I hope Melon stays novice chasing this season so we can see how good he is but he was available at 130/1 on the exchange’s for this race the other day. Only win option available but still a massive price.

Champ at 100/1is appealing. He would have a chance in the race though would still have the hill question mark but at those odds he would be worth chancing.

I will kick myself when Nicky makes the impending announcement of the switch.

Stop it ET!!!! lol. Sure your just trying to wind us up with the "hill" debate getting another airing!!! With connections having the fav, it surely wont even be under consideration?? Stayers I could see if next run is a disaster.

If theres one race JP McCmanus loves to win its the Champion Hurdle. If he feels Champ would have a chance then he could run him.
Neither McManus or Henderson are scared of having multiple runners in this race.

Both Nicky and JP know that the champ hurdle is no place for girls. You cant seriously expect them to rely solely on a filly for the race they crave. They need champ.

im not biting!!! Im not biting, Im not biting. Forget the "hill" debate, let it go, let it go!

Buveur D'air was 2 wins from 2 over fences. He picked up his 2nd chase win on boxing day and was considered a certainty to be chasing at the festival. Nicky then ran him ina listed hurdle in February and won the champ hurdle in March.
These connections have history and removing the 20 fences greatly improves his chances. He may finally improve if he has a go over 2 miles.

Not sure I'd fancy Champ at 100/1 even if I knew he was running.

Obviously I'd back him at 100/1 if I knew he was running, but that's not the point.


With Epatante heading the market, they wouldn't even consider switching the RSA fav to a CH.

100/1 isn't value. Move on and kick yourself if Epatante gets injured and you're too slow.

Pricewise has put up Sharjah & Not So Sleepy for the Champion Hurdle.

Last year was a very good year for pricewise, for all he's useless normally!

Isn't his festival record actually alright in his defense?




For me, he's gone too far in trying to be against the grain. It worked for him at one point obviously, I remember watching a video of him talking about a horses ability being by far and away the most important thing.... dismissing things like ground, jockey etc...... whereas more recently I've heard him say his biggest angle is jockeys.... and he listed 5 that were the bee's knees...




Hopefully he's right with Sharjah, but Kevwise is on at 66/1 and 25/1 so Mr Segal is another RP tipster who can eat my shorts along with Gavin Lynch and David Jennings.




I like them all really, just insanely jealous of their jobs.

Have the initial entries for this seasons Champion Hurdle been confirmed yet? The cash out in my Honeysuckle bet has been reduced?
