Does anyone else think this race has the scarily same profile of the big three way match up of Apples Jade, Buveur D’Air and Laurina. Three different type of horses and yet so similar to that battle of 2019.
Epatante/Buveir D’Air - Defending champ of Henderson and JP. Looked excellent when winning the race previously but has now got something to prove.
Honeysuckle/Apples Jade - Looked superb on her last run and forced connections to go to the Champion Hurdle rather than the Mares. Has a touch of star quality about her but still has to prove she can do it over 2m round Cheltenham on the biggest stage of them all, in the fastest race she will have ever run in.
Goshen/Laurina - The underdog of the three with the most to prove. Has looked excellent on occasion but has never won a Grade 1. Could be a superstar but also could just be a bit overhyped.
We know in 2019 one of the outsiders came along to steal the three way head to head.. does lightning strike twice once again in 2021?Comment

Does have that feel to be.... Imagine it's actually Saldier (form tie with Espoir D'Allen) that turns up and does it.Originally posted by Middle_Of_March View Post

The race reminds me of the apples jade year.
Won the Irish champion hurdle by 16L (as predicted
) and bombed when it mattered
- see honeysuckle ?
Buvuer dair lost the Christmas hurdle with uncharacteristic jumping mistakes, after looking awesome at Newcastle then fell when it mattered - see epatante ?
Laurina looking like an absolute machine at cheltenham the season before but then not seen till very late in the season and still looking very good and was very much a marmite horse and was off her feet early when it mattered - see goshen ?
Who the fuck is this years Espoir D'allen ???
Same as yours, with profanity.Comment
