Champion Hurdle 2020

[Quevega]

It's such a light market though.
It looks like a market where you might need to think right outside of the box (outside of the van that the box is in).
If we get one or two injuries or poor form at the top of the market we could get something pop up.
What price was Buvuer D'air at this stage when he was novice chasing.
Or Annie Power the year she won (i know some backed it )

Off top of my head...
it's hard to think of much, but BDD, Honeysuckle, Laurina and even City Island
might back honeysuckle actually, if she wins on debut.

bumped this. from early November
Turns out it was outside the box, on another planet was what we needed for this race,

Can we do a poll to see if the "Fat Jockeys" will be with or against Benie for the CH?
Benie over 2miles not for me

[delsie777]

Laurina and Apple's Jade too

I think a lot will depend on how Willie evaluates the chances of Stormy Ireland and Elfile beating Honeysuckle in the Mares . If he rates their chances I think he will reroute Benie and take his chances.

Yep, it would.

I guess they've got Bacardys to work it out with

[Outlaw]

...plenty of Supasundae ‘top 4’ included in Sky Request a Bet. Not sure if they’ve had time to adjust.

He got cut very early after requesting him top4 only the other day (inside 2hours) after that i asked for 4/5 different ones with perceived obvious horses to place Ala Altior/Notebook, to try and nab some more value on him etc . All prices remained the same even after today's news surprisingly, as both the horses out today would of been shorter than him in the betting so they don't look bad value, even more so now.

Well you'd know!

She goes mares or nowhere

[FaugheenTheMachine]

I’m starting to think Pentland Hills wins it

[Nathaniel99999]

I know this is a long shot, but I gotta ask if Darasso still has a chance for this race. I backed the horse at 33/1 before its comeback run, and Joseph said the run could be a write off and is much better than what the horse has showed. Also was the ground just too soft for the horse to run since it was heavy and Haydock not the best of tracks for horses to run at?

[The King Pimm]

I’m going to try my best to hold off betting on the Champion Hurdle until the weekend of the race because the ground conditions and weather will be a factor on those who are left. There are a number of horses in this race that will probably run into a place whatever the ground conditions but never win the race as they’re not good enough but there are a few who could win if the ground is right and Fusil Raffles is one. We’re due a dry start to spring as the past 2 festivals have started very soft so if it’s genuine good to soft I’m backing him.

[Stormy Antarctic]

Going over old ground again but with two market principles out today, chevely park must be starting to consider this. Especially after darver stars smashing run last weekend. If connections are looking at novice chasing next year then this would be a huge win on his CV.

[Pendil]

Darver Star @ 33/1 WH is a huge price for this based on his last 2 runs

I probably should have expanded on this from a couple of days ago. 2 runs ago finished 3rd beaten 4l by Envoi and 2 1/2l by Aba. squeezed for room slightly at the 2nd last and ran on best. The 4th that day Turnpike Trip finished 4th next time out behind Not So Sleepy giving 19lb on unsuitable ground. I have just backed Turnpike at 25/1 for the County.

Next up was the Irish Champion on ground that was officially yielding but times suggest good - as opposed to Sunday when the yielding was more like soft. He was caught a bit flat footed at the 2nd last but ran on well and would have beaten Honey in another 20yards. The horse stays 2 1/2 miles well. Supasundae was over 4l back in 4th.

The horse has improved from winning a handicap of 106 @ Wexford in April to a rating of 152. Although an 8yo he has few miles on the clock. And consider the trainer

Good case Pendil. I’m on darver star and silver streak for this. Had early bets on B Dair and K Dream but they’re in the bin
