Champion Hurdle 2021

[Saxon Warrior]

Betfair’s Morgiana Prices changed a lot?

Saint Roi 7/4
Cilaos Emery 4/1
Sharjah 4/1
Abacadabras 9/2
Saldier 9/2
Petite Mouchoir 8/1
Beacon Edge 14/1
Couer Sublime 14/1
Jason the Militant 14/1


That makes the Win Today and the Champion Hurdle double price interesting for Aba

Then 'Specials' along the bar where they have 'Today' 'Tomorrow' blah blah... 'Specials'

These are better than Unibet's effort.

And may reflect likely runners or not too.
Klassical Dream was 2/5 last year, so the bookies clearly favour the second season lot, although Townend riding also.

I hope they don't all run, I'll have at least 3 bubbles burst regardless

Could be a few bubbles burst at the weekend first.

Always are to be fair!

Every pre-season bet is just that... we'll have landed on some good ones but the real work starts when we actually start seeing the form

A good old flip-flop

My fingers will be well and truly crossed both Friday and Saturday afternoons.

That’s why I prefer taking long odds with antepost bets this far out, I would hate seeing a heavily punted shortie in my book (if I ever backed one), get turned over first time out.

Yes, it's why horses like Epatante aren't all over peoples diaries.

If you had to put up a best bet for this race, as of right now... what would it be?




Mine would be Saldier at 25/1. He has the most obvious 'up-side' as a previous Morgiana winner and CH favourite, we're close to a potential repeat.

That'll be due to Aba running in WKD. Very, very unlikely to double up in Morgiana. At those prices it looks like Saint Roi will be thrown in at the deep end. Fair play.

No need to ask what mine would be honey.

Shorter price.
Less likely to turn up.

Sounds about right.


Back to being serious - what price would you make Honeysuckle versus Epatante and let's say, Sharjah and Petit Mouchoir, in a 4 runner Champion Hurdle....

I would stick with Saint Roi.
I'm liking Saldier's price but not keen on his injury profile.

Even at 10/1?

I just start looking elsewhere after getting a value price, maybe it's that.

I suppose 11/2 Abacadabras isn't actually that exciting though.



They are the two I like the most though, and have been from quite a way out.

I almost hope they don't meet so they both stay alive
