  • Genuinely baffled by Irish Points campaign this season. If you aren't going to be contesting the grade 1's over hurdles at the intermediate trip, why aren't you going novice chasing? They don't think he's quick enough for 2 miles and they have Teahupoo for the stayers. Weird

      I can see him ending up in the Champion Hurdle, though don't think he's anywhere good enough for it.

        He's also entered for the long walk hurdle, And i know that gordon mused over him going up to 3 miles in one video i've seen.
        wouldn't be a bad thing for robcour to have 2 darts at the stayers

            There's been talk (Saturday NJH) of Constitution Hill not going to Sundown due to the race's proximity to the Christmas hurdle. It will be interesting to see how the bookies price the race.

              Yeah interesting.

              If I was pricing the race up it would be something like.

              2/1 Love Envoi 2/1 Irish Point, 5/1 You Wear It Well, 6/1 Shishkin, Goshen 12/1, Benson 33/1 Not So Sleepy 33/1

              • Seems he may have had a change of heart and seems to be saying the opposite now and he may go

                • I'd have Irish Point outright for this.

                  Love Envoi's form fresh is miles below her form with a run or two.

                  I'd be a backer of YWIW at 5-1 + myself.

                  • Willmount entered in the 2m listed race that Con Hill won previously. Owner suggested he'd run and should be winnable race for him based on entries.

                      Some decent enough novices against him if they turn up that could still be 'anything'. Booster Bob, Insurrection & Personal Ambition look to be fair opposition should any of them turn up.

                        Love Envoi has won all her races first time up. Are you mixing her with anything else?

                        Agree, I'd be on YWIW EW @ 5's.

                          No mix-up. She's won but the performances are that of a horse that for me wouldn't make her fav or joint fav in a race with 2nd time out Irish Point in there.

                          Miles below, might be extreme.

                            I see. I don't see her going off fav either. If CH was to miss the race I could see punters backing Shishkin into fav.

                              Can't see shiskin turning up if it goes heavy tho.

                                IP currently 10/1 with Paddy Power.

                                Heavy ground will probably mean CH doesn't run

                                IP 14/1 with 365!
