Look forward to Coral Cup chat in the next few weeks before the Festival.
Any Novice Hurdlers that you think will be targeted here? Nicky Henderson does well here, but the Irish are three wins from the last four.
My own choice early is PIC D’OHRY, and one bookmaker offered 40/1 for less than an hour which some of the forum interested in the horse managed to snaffle, along with me. The horse returns from a break after falling on his novice chase debut, and is due to run tomorrow over 2M3F over hurdles, fingers crossed he keeps the fires of that bet burning for a while yet.
