    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.
    From what's coming out of the stable it sounds as though they think he'll need this run Charlie. I know he goes well fresh , but there's fresh and then there's really fresh !

    • From what Mullins and co are saying I think they'll be very disappointed if Saint Roi doesn't prove he's top Champion Hurdle material today. They are bigging him right up .......... hopefully not to fall !

        Like Klassical Dream last year.

        Went off 10/11 for this race.
        Which is hard to believe now, but true nonetheless.

          Staggering improvement from a horse who at this stage last season had just one run outside France where he achieved an RPR of 101...

              Plenty knew, and exactly why for me novices shouldn’t be allowed in festival handicaps...

              • Ruby saying Saldier has had a fairly tough prep and would be surprised if he improves a whole pile from today’s race

                Guess when he gets to the track so little he’ll always be more a less ready to go

                • Paddy still paying 3 places despite the non runner thank god

                  • Whilst I can see the case for Saint Roi reversing the Morgiana form, the price disparity between him and Aba is surely too big isnt it?

                    Stable form the only thing stopping me backing Aba.

                    • Hmm! Epatante a good bet again...?

                      • This division a bit of a mess now. Got to be good news for Epantate overall though if you put a line through her last run.

                        • Pretty sure there was some stable tactics going on there

                          Townend looked behind him saw Aba and then put the handbrake on

                          • No excuses for anybody there. This race has lost a hell of a lot of shine this last week
