Haha, he didn't really mention The New One did he?!
Yep - full story.
He was asked which was the race he would most like to win ?
Obviously the champion hurdle.
Then reeled it all off with tears and hand gestures and everything
Really struggling to understand why Ballyadam is still 7/1. Absolute EW bet to nothing with plenty near the top of the market looking like they might not line up for this. He's the clear 2nd best horse in the race for me.

Without there really being any link in the form lines between Metier and the Irish. How can you be so sure that Ballyadam is the clear 2nd best in the race?
I mean just reading basic stats Metier has a better OR and RPR. Is younger and less tried over hurdles so there is potentially a larger amount of improvement.
Furthermore, Metier was impressive on the clock in the tolworth. Recording the quickest overall 2m time on the day and the fastest time, carrying more weight than the winners of the other 2m hurdle races, from 1 out to the line. This suggests he wil be able to stay on well off a quick pace which he will need to do in the supreme.
I see that BF have just cut him into 9/2 clear 2nd Fav 4 places.

I did say 'for me' MB. I think his form amounts to very little and a rating of 148 is inflated on what he's achieved in my opinion. Is there a single horse he's beaten that has given his form any substance whatsoever? Shakem'uparry probably the only one that's done anything remotely respectable and Soaring Glory beat him just as easily as Metier did.
I'd have his rating sub 145 myself and probably the same as Soaring Glory on 143.
Obviously he can only beat what's in front of him, but Id like to see the form having a bit more depth before tackling a Supreme. I'd also have a biq question mark over him on the better ground, whereas I think Ballyadam will thrive on it.
Im hoping to find a nice match bet between these two.
If I was being picky I’d say not quite as easily as soaring glory was getting 3lbs
plus arry had the benefit of dictating in the tolworth
Backtracking - I also quite like Ballyadam and if he can clean up his jumping then I think he can get close to AI. But, I think Metier is the one who we don’t have a clear measure of and (as the market suggest) has most likely chance of trumping AI.
Going to be one of the smallest Supreme fields that I can remember, based on that list.
Good news for your FOR PLEASURE bet.
more chance of them letting him go. Might even back him myself now.
Although the fucking idiots will probably run in the champion hurdle and spoil that race.

Haha yeah, although I'd be extremely surprised if he was good enough to trouble the principals. Will take nerves of steel and the fractions will need to be spot on from Harry Bannister.
He is also entered in the Champion Hurdle too, so who knows which way they will go.
