Could target Song at the two and a half miler at aintree? Would make sense, feels like a step up in trip will suit

Great field. You could see each horse having some sort of claim to win. Not So Sleepy, Silver Streak, Aspire Tower and Goshen at the front. Honeysuckle would need to be an extraordinary horse to do what she did at the DRF to this field as the pace won't stop midway. Sharjah, Abacadabras and Epatante should get a good tow into the race.Originally posted by Diamond Geezer View Post48 hour decs

The ones at the front can't all run stupidly quick for the entire race, they'll fade up in the hillOriginally posted by DenmanSacre View Post
The pace will drop at some point, whether its decided by one or two of the jockeys from the front, or forced upon them as they hit the hill and their horse is treading
- Unlikely the pace will be weak at the start of the race, a few of these will want to get a position up front.
- Find it hard to see the pace drop in the middle, something will pick it back up.
- So, I can see this race switching towards the end of the race. Needing a horse that can handle 2 mile pace, but stays. Feels like this is going to suit Honeysuckle, something sitting off the pace, something from the back of the field - which wont be that far behind given theres only 8 runners here
Sharjah is coming back into the picture here. 16/1 is too big
The race last year suited Epatante, she has the perfect ride and the pace suited her - a sprint finish. Sharjah done extremely well considering these conditions
This race is going to be ran on the best ground we've seen for a few years! Sharjah is the only horse I can see right now who has recent form over good ground - and when I say good ground I'm taking spring ground
There's only 10 runners this time around, I can see a Artic Fire like run from Sharjah. The only difference is, I dont think any of these are a Faugheen and we wont have a "Faugheen like performance" where one horse just dominates the race from start to finish.
Added to this, we dont have a Ruby Walsh like jockey this in who would dedicate the race
With this in mind, I'm going to back Sharjah at 16/1.Comment

I saw her this morning and she looked fantastic. On her toes and raring to go. If she comes off Lobos at that 20/1 you pushed for, you will be a very popular man!!!!Originally posted by Lobos View PostComment

Sharjah 14/1 4 places. Not going to go much bigger than that with the 4 places is it?Comment

She may be extraordinary, but I don't think the tactics at the DRF would be successful here. Leave it later and slingshot off the bend and she will be tough for the held up horses to catch.Originally posted by Lobos View PostComment

They've confirmed 5 places for the Champ Hurdle now. I assume this will be instead of the 7 places in the Supreme.Originally posted by Bluefox21 View PostComment
