2023 Stayers Hurdle

[Lobos]

Ouch. Not good news. There will be more.

[Atlantic Viking]

Oh dear, would be a proper sickener, features strongly in my bets as i'm sure he does plenty others. Been trying to get others onside , but nothing remotely close to what he'd be worth. Wouldn't be antepost without a few of these though eh?!

[RoadToCheltenham]

Flooring Porter quotes:

"Unfortunately Flooring Porter has suffered a setback and it's going to be tight as to whether he will make Cheltenham or not. I would say at this stage it's probably 50-50. The next three weeks will tell a lot, but he will be missing bits of work which is not ideal.

"It is not a career-threatening injury or anything like that, it is just a small setback which is going to hold us up a bit."

….no idea if he’s an intended runner, but BetFred are a standout 20-1 NRNB Saint Sam. Only 10-1 PP without NRNB concession.

[Magpie]

I should of changed my FP bet to NRNB but greed got the better of me for 3 points more, Will I never learn.

What’s the bet now lads?

[Leman14]

Blows this wide open!
Wishing I'd backed "Home By The Lee" now - but will prob leave this until the day.

I have Zanahyr, Langer Dan, Flooring Porter and Klassical Dream...
Not the greatest looking hand - unless KD turns up.

Klassical Dream NRNB for me...

Mulling over Hewick... must look pretty inviting to send him here as a national prep now.

I'm struggling to understand why Klassical Dream can still be backed at 8/1.
Horror prep last season, looked the winner approaching the last, wasn't sharp enough and got run out of it up the hill, much better prep this season and should be fav in my book.
Been backing down from 25/1 and still happy to include in multis at 8/1.

Someone in here (can't remember who) had contacts with connections last year who thought the horse would win multiple Stayers Hurdles such was their confidence in his ability.
Whoever that man is please show yourself...

Latest quotes from Mullins don't sound too convincing Ista!

"As I said at Christmas, he had a little setback the week before Leopardstown which rules him out of running in the Christmas Hurdle there. We're taking it day by day with him and we'll make a decision on his participation nearer the time"

He's just the best horse in the race isn't he?

Only beaten a neck by Teahupoo over a trip too short, would be confident he would reverse that over 3 miles. Plus Teahupoo has only ran once at Cheltenham and it was awful, I'd definitely have KD a fair bit shorter than Teahupoo. Home By The Lee is probably a fair enough favourite at the minute but he wouldn't be having any of my money at 4s.

Only thing I'd disagree with is taking the 8/1 when you can get 13/2 (boosted) with NRNB cover, think that's a better bet.

Iv just topped up on him at 6/1 nrnb, think that's the play given his injury issues

[FinalFurlong91]

bets always been teahupoo after the hattons grace

For me that hattons grace is by miles the best form on offer and think teahupoo and klassical dream are the two to beat

[Lobos]

Can definitely Marie's Rock taking her chance now.

FinalFurlong91 your case re Teahupoo was well timed given this news.
