I see Pentland Hills is down to run in Unibet Hurdle in Haydock on Sat. Nicky says he badly needed the run the last day and that he traveled like the best horse in the race. Hope Nicky is right....
My fancy for CH but I guess we'll know more after Sat
Henry de Bromhead is favouring the PCI Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown on February 1 as the pre-Cheltenham target for Honeysuckle, and the unbeaten mare could face three previous winners with Apple's Jade, Supasundae and Petit Mouchoir also among the 14 entries.
Honeysuckle has had a break since landing the Grade 1 Hatton’s Grace Hurdle by nine lengths at Fairyhouse on December 1, and De Bromhead said on Monday: “She’s in very good form and we’re very happy with her.
“She'll run next in either the Irish Champion Hurdle or the Red Mills Hurdle at Gowran Park two weeks later. At this stage we’re leaning towards the Leopardstown race.”

From what I can see from the Haydock Champion Hurdle Trial, most of the top of the market will carry penalties.
Call Me Lord 6lb
Cornerstone Lad 6lb
Darasso 4lb
Pentland Hills 3lb
Bally Andy No penalty.
I assumed cornerstone lad would’ve carried the most given G1 winner now. Haven’t checked conditions properly mind you.
*Edit* having looked at the conditions, you're correct.

Honey prepping for Fez in Irish Churdle as it fits in perfectly timewise. If the Quevega was at the same time they would have ran in that so Mares is still the plan. However, if she were to win well back in trip, pains me to say the Champion Hurdle would be tempting for them without a doubt. Much the same with A Plus Tard in the 2 mile chase. HDB has some ammo this year !!!

Massive ammo this year, superb trainer. Given that i think she'd win a Irish Champion i think the only thing holding her back from going here is the ground, which halfway through January you'd think would be no bother, but Leopardstown drains fast. They won't run her if it turns out like last year imo.
