COUNTY Handicap Hurdle 2021

[Quevega]

I glimpse at his breeding will tell you why they think there's more to come in the Coral Q.

Nope. Not having it.

I get the breeding thing by the way. Spectre I was being flippant.
And I also understand the motivation to go up in trip when a horse is rising in the handicap.
I just don't think this would be the time to do it.
With what's at stake.

I'd agree. He's won 2 of the most competitive 2 mile races already this season. The new course should suit at Cheltenham and he doesn't seem to overextend himself in front.

Will night edition come here or county now ? (thats the 2 pipe said) but not sure how today will affect either option?

I made that point when I was told the plan. In principle I’m okay with the step up in trip though. They expect him to improve for it, so it makes sense because there’s a point where he stops being ahead of the handicapper. My preference would also be to stay at 2 and put a top claimer on instead of Hayes though.

....my understanding is it needed to win today to have a chance of getting in either. I suspect they really had an eye on the big bonus & the jump two out probably cost it. One to keep an eye out for if entered for a big pot but I doubt it’ll be at the Festival.

They’ve enough incentive to pay the right money for a top claimer now.

Sea of blue for Eclaire De Beaufeu today. I made the decision not to back him for this as had been on him for his last 3 runs....

Atlantic Viking am I right in saying it was you who put up Eclair Du Beafeu for this back in January. Cheers if so as that’s my only bet in the race at this point at 28s and even at this stage with 8 days to go, I fancy absolutely nothing in the race. So I’m pleased to have at least one covered at a price.

Truth be told, I’ve always enjoyed tackling this one after decs with 6 and 7 places available. Think it’s a race that you can take half the field out if studying it properly and if you’re able to do that, it’s easy enough to get a couple in the places. One of my favourite handicaps of the week as a betting prospect and once again, I’ve almost deliberately neglected it antepost.
