    Absolutely loved this horse - always guaranteed to give you a good run for your money & place in the first 3 at Cheltenham...

    • PP prices Sharjah 7-2 and Zanayhir 11-4 ???
      I know he's had a run but FFS he gets no allowance, it's a 4yr old vs only an 8yr old mutiple grade 1 winning hirdler off levels.
      And he's not even got a correct rating either. 152 is not worthy.
      Could win of course, but it don't make a lot of sense.

      Mare should not really be favourite either, but they do this every year and tend to over price the older horses.
      maybe paddies know Sharjah is not fit enough.

        • To my uneducated eyes, Echoes in Rain's jumping was dreadful

          • Honeysuckle the big winner there

            • Honeysuckle will be snug as a bug in her box tonight

              • She wanted to go quicker, pulled, didnt get into rhythm
                Mares hurdle likely now

                    Theres no chance she will stay 2m4 pulling like that.

                    • …EiR out to 20-1 and Sharjah into a general 10-1 after that.

                        Why would you be looking to step her up 4 furlongs in a race they will likely go slower and likely to increase her likelihood of pulling her chance away?

                        • Need to see EIR in a large runner race next time, so she can at least settle.

                          • Afternoon all, had a little break but getting back in the groove now.

                            EIR was awful in the jumping department, too early to fully write off but in a contest where jumping is key, she will need to massively step up to feature in this.

                              Where else she going? More likely to get a big more pace there and hopefully she'll settle a little but more come March and more experience
