That would account for the below par run then. But at her projected possible best she would be only 1 1/2L ahead of Silver Streak. I still think that Saldier and Sharjah can beat her.

Was in season or thought to be in season are two quite different things!Originally posted by Lobos View PostComment

Indeed. Hopefully the former. That simply wasn't her running the other day and it'll be nice to have an explanation.Originally posted by Pendil View PostComment

Henderson to shut down for a week after tomorrows runners in view of poor shows from several horses.Comment

The confidence Mullins exudes re Saint Roi is very much like the confidence they have in Chacun. You get the feeling they expect today. I'm not going to disagree with him after the couple of days he's had !Comment

The price for Saldier today just looks the wrong price IMO. I’d have priced him up shorter than Sharjah, yet he’s comfortably bigger across the board.
I love the way he jumps and travels. I knows he’s fragile but he’s laughed at Sharjah LTO on debut in a Grade 1 and I am fully expecting the same today.
I think 10/1 EW is a superb price. I think he’ll win, or go close, and really enter the frame for this as a leading contender, just as he did last year.Comment

I want saint roi to win but I agree charlie its too big and backed him yesterday e/w
hopefully no bookie saving non runners so we lose 3 placesComment

Agree price is too big Charlie! Especially 3 places.Originally posted by charlie View Post
Runs well after long breaks, did the same in 2019. Mullins has said there is no more he can do at home with him so you have to expect he is ready for the run.
Just hoping for a good run today and he comes out the race well to prepare him for March. As long as he isn’t disgraced in defeat

Far too big IMO. I'll be genuinely surprised if the 11's on the exchange's lasts. I can see him going off around 6/1 or 7/1.Originally posted by Craigy14 View Post

He won well coming off the pace in the Morgiana - Aspire Tower and Petit Mouchoir will set a decent tempo today and he'll aim to beat them late.
I thought Saldier won the Morgiana readily and dispatched of Sharjah with no great trouble, so the price discrepancy is a question mark.
He clearly runs well fresh and attacks his hurdles like a proper Champion Hurdler should. Patrick Mullins normally rides Sharjah so I probably read too much into Paul being up top, but I know which jockey I'd rather have and its certainly Paul.

I’ve taken some of the 100/1 for Saldier to win today and to win the champion hurdle. A good performance and he’ll go 4/1 2nd favourite I believeComment

After his Morgiana win Saldier went clear 5/1 second fav I think (by memory, could be wrong)Originally posted by dannycraigpirates View Post

Wpm says he's best watched today, so expect him to win my a furlongOriginally posted by dannycraigpirates View PostComment

Yep so I expect a similar price if he wins today. Even at 10/1 and 5/1 - the 100/1 is still decent value!Originally posted by charlie View PostComment

Not sure what price he went immediately after the Morgiana but he was a general 7/2 shot when the injury ruled him out...Originally posted by charlie View Post
