Mares Hurdle 2021

[The King Pimm]

Dame de compagnie beat indefatigable very easily albeit in receipt of 5lbs at Cheltenham in a mares handicap before last years festival

Personally I'd have DDC as the better horse of the two

Did she FF? Sorry I had a puppy crawling over my head trying to eat my bowl of pistachio nuts whilst my wife was complaining about me being there on my phone on Valentines night when I posted so did no research before hand. I wasn’t aware they had both met previously. I think DDC will be in this race, not sure about Floressa, I think she will be in the Coral Cup.

Do Paddy Power still have cash out on her ??

From Henderson's latest Stable Tour it sounds like the Mares Hurdle is a distinct possibility for Verdana Blue. He doesn't think she's ground or distance dependant these days. She could be a very good one in the 'without Concertista' market seeing as the race is looking likely to cut up to next to nothing.

Her Cheltenham record of 8-5-4-3-4 is surely of some concern, whilst not completely dreadful it doesn't scream out to me that she'd be competitive. The two better races she's competed in she's finished 16 lengths and 24 lengths behind. Supposedly needs the ground to be right. Can't see that being the case on day 1, no matter what the weather.

Not ground or distance dependant these days according to Nicky which I suppose rings true with her Flat performances last season.

Yeah, since yesterday.

Do Paddy Power still have cash out on her ??

Yes, you can still cash out on PP.

Would probably have no bearing as they are NRNB anyway, and you can't and haven't been able to cash out ante post bets on any horse since they went NRNB anyway, I don't believe.

I can cash some out for a profit on her, so you'd think they'd suspend cashout and just return NRMB stakes if they knew she was out.

Is Paul’s saga priced up anywhere for this race before she runs at Warwick today?? Or even entered in the race?

Yeah, TBF I didn't know you could cash for profit when I replied as I haven't got any BDD bets with them. It was more the point they were NRNB anyway so stakes would be returned regardless.

Have to say I hope BDDs weakness in the market doesn’t give the Skeltons the option of this race with Roksana, she clearly didn’t have the speed over 20f last year and has improved no end for step up to 3m, there really is very little between her and the leading lights of the Stayers hurdle...

She was held up off a relatively slow pace that didn't help.
She would need a strong gallop for sure, but so would Concertista IMO.
I think her cruising speed looks improved this year and she travels a lot better that she did in all her races last year.
But I acknowledge this could easily be the trip also.

Correct. Well case for me anyway.

I agree Ista.

Her 3m form is far superior than her form over 2m 4f or shorter.
