Champion Hurdle 2020

I wish he'd just keep his mouth closed.

Are they really going to run 3 in this (Sharjah & Saldier) when he's basically for a penalty kick in the mares.

I'd be amazed if they did.

Just saying something, for the sake of saying it, I would imagine..

Might be idea to get on ELFILE eachway for the Mares if you're not already on - just in case one or both the favs move over

The stormy ireland form is strong and SI was receiving weight and was given a real soft lead too.

I'd be pretty confident honeysuckle moves over. And elfile should be out shortly in a graded mares race

Been on since the early season, could've held off and got a bigger price now probably, but i agree.

Probably best to ignore what Ricci says. I think we all remember the line “Vautour only goes to Cheltenham for the Gold Cup”. He promptly romped home inthe Ryanair.

I would be confident Benie goes for the Mares.

[Can't Catch Me]

Rich Ricci via Nick Luck “you would have to consider supplementing Benie Des Dieux for the Champion Hurdle”

Probably asked 'would you consider' and he replied yes... suppose it would have been more surprising if he had just replied no.

He wasn't asked he blurted it out.

Think Benie mares backers can relax a little.
Ruby is clearly on your side, as he rolled his eyes so much when asked about ricci's comments about Benie for the champion I though he;d had a stroke.

Someone’s keen to be backing Benie on Betfair for this

They are.
Seems quite a lot just based on his comments,
It's also a little suspicious that she was put back in the market the other day, even though she's not entered

[TCH29]

All very peculiar and, from what I know of the man, somewhat ego driven, i’d suggest.

Ricci has Saldier and Sharjah for this. We know the latter is erratic and needs his ground, but on song, surely has a chance and is a genuine 2 miler.

Saldier has form to last year’s winner, won his grade 1 well this season and goes well fresh. Ruby, on the morning show, also let on how highly he, Willie and the team rate him.

I know BDD is class, but I just don’t see her as a pure 2 miler. And does Ricci need another bullet? Personally, I think BDD would be better suited (if she wants to leave her fellow mates behind) going to the Stayers.

Always worth remembering Ricci and Mullins' relationship is like mine and my wife's - I can give it the big one to the lads about how I'm coming on the sesh, but I'm only going if she thinks it's a good idea

Ha - that’s the post of the day right there

A lot of punters are just about as stupid as me. Only just, obviously.

Only need a few hearing an interview and saying to themselves 'I think I'll get on that now'

Post of the year from Robith, and we're only just in Feb

Very funny Robith ..

[SharpHat]

The idiots they have on the RacingPost previews, asked who they would back for the Champion Hurdle - "Probably Honeysuckle as she has the most recent form". Brilliant. Just back the ones you saw last
