‘Win Today & Cheltenham 2023’

[Stormez]

Delta Work to finish in first 5 in national and win xc 11/1. If you fancy DW to go close in that national that seems like a good opportunity to get him onside for the xc

I am tempted by that. He’s got a lot of weight to lug around though not long after his slog through the mud at Cheltenham.

Have to say I can't get excited by that at all.
I said somewhere a while back that there could be another 'Delta Work' that comes from nowhere to win next years XC, say Mullins thinks Al Boum Photo doesn't have the speed to win a Gold Cup, or Elliott thinks the XC is the best route for Galvin to win a National, One of them could do to Delta Work what Delta Work did to Tiger.
And anything can happen over the next 49 weeks.
Just my thoughts obviously...

Like that one although is a little worry hendo said 2 and half is plenty enough for him after his debut but I suppose options are limited now this season.

These are awful awful prices this year from sky aren't they

Epatante is 14/1 just for the mares in several places

That would surely need to be 25s for anyone to even be slightly tempted

Atrocious prices.
My issue with any Epatante Mares Hurdle bet is that she’s had 13 NH runs, if she was a 20f horse would she not have been tried beyond 2m before now ?
She’ll be 9 next festival and that breeding shed will be calling at some point, as a Champion hurdle winner are connections likely to be excited about a Mares Hurdle as a long term target ?
As it stands I’d say she heads to the Champion Hurdle and if they don’t think she can compete she’ll be retired…

Suppose their thinking may be that next season is the first time they know for sure she can’t win a Champion Hurdle. Been beaten soundly twice by Honeysuckle & the yard look to have a better contender in Constitution Hill. So give it a go & no harm if she doesn’t get the trip.

I'm holding off any Epatante - Mares Hurdle bets because Nicky said (I think after her run at Xmas) that it might be worth trying 2m 4f but Nico said she won't stay that far. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

He probably meant wouldn't stay 2 1/2 around Cheltenham. Every chance on a tight , flat track like Aintree.
