Seen a few of the connections have a go at the jockeys regarding BDD. I guess their money was down. They usually remain quiet.
Big defeat for Benie, as she gets talked up as though she is the best in the yard, and she got turned over.
Bad start for Willie.
Might be the best thing for her as they may now move her up to 3m where she belongs. Been beat by the mares now - just go and start winning the open 3m in England, Ireland and France

Don’t think I’ll gain a whole load from reading into this race too much and I doubt I have anything unique to say that hasn’t already been said.
My personal opinion having watched the race back just now is that Benie Des Dieux would beat Honeysuckle over this trip more often than she wouldn’t. I certainly don’t have her as vastly superior though and price would dictate which way I leant in any rematches.
The slow pace certainly wouldn’t have played to BDD’s strengths. Initially I considered Cheltenham doesn’t show her to best effect as even her win in this race wasn’t visually impressive. The fact remains though that bar Honeysuckle, she’s just easily clear of anything else in the race and I’d be surprised if anything can match her. If Honeysuckle is going chasing, I’d hope to back BDD for the Mares before she got cut. She could realistically go up in trip to the Stayers Hurdle but I think when it came to crunch time she’d be the proverbial penalty kick in this again compared to what you would have to assume would be a more difficult race in the Stayers Hurdle and that’d sway the decision.
Of course if Honeysuckle isn’t going Chasing, then it could make the Stayers more attractive and I also wouldn’t want to back BDD as they’re too closely matched for me to get jiggy at the prices.
No interest whatsoever in the Mares in behind. Even at 20/1+ they’re only place chances in either of these turn up and that isn’t worth spending much time on in May 2020 for March 2021 for me.
