Stayers Hurdle 2021

With Buveur Dairs physical problems if they get him out over 2 miles and he's beaten, could see them aiming him at Aintree over 2m 4f, but he has so many options and Nicky is so windy that I couldnt touch him for anything at the moment.

Has anyone heard about targets for The Big Breakaway?
I would imagine that he would go chasing, BUT could be an outside shot for the Stayers?
The Ballymore was only his third race under rules and he didn't disgrace himself at all.
I personally think that he would improve for the step up to 3 miles and the Stayers would be more winnable than a tough looking RSA.
I've thrown a couple of Free Bets at him at 33/1
(Even if he starts chasing, he could always revert)

The jumping wildly right thing takes a lot of forgiving. Don't get me wrong.
But possibly means he'll stay over hurdles as well.
For that reason and because second season novices do so well in this race.
Asterion Forlonge would interest me in this race if priced up anywhere.
And the jumping would not be such an issue on the stayers course.
Looks a lot classier than the last two to win the race, (after bombing in the Bartlett)
Although I would wait till they confirm hurdles or chasing.

Had a browse in my local William Hill shop today. Checked out the in shop Festival AP odds and was surprised to see Thyme Hill at 16/1 and Sire Du Berlais at 20/1 in the Stayers. Must have been an error but it would have been rude not to have a few more points on each !
