2023 Stayers Hurdle

Willies sporting life blog:

Klassical Dream is making progress from his small setback and while it’s going to be tough to make it to Cheltenham, where there’s life, there’s hope. We’ll give him every chance to make it, but I wouldn’t be putting any ante-post bets on him at the minute

He’s f****d isn’t he…

[HoldenTheReins]

Flooring porter
klassical dream
Blazing khal

All under injury clouds

Would be a very poor renewal if all 3 missed it

I'd also be exclusively relying on teahupoo which isn't something I'd like, but at the same time I don't want to back any of the others

Don't rate home by the Lee
Can't bring myself to back a horse of Paisley parks age
ashdale bob is no good
saint sam won't stay

Hopefully it doesn't fall apart too much

I get the feeling something has been up with FP as he's not raced the same this season. Hopefully he makes it fit and well. I reckon KD will make it.

Yes FP hasn't been the same lovable nutjob this season

Not travelled with the same enthusiasm as past years

Doesn't sound good at all.

Paisley just looks better than ever this season. Incredible horse. Wouldn't put it past him at all regaining his title.

Paisley winnings around Kempton... I cant work out whether that was a massive performance and step back up for Paisley, or whether that race was rubbish

Never thought Paisley would ever win around Kempton, never mind at his current age

Would be great if he was able to win the stayers again!

[Lobos]

Looking at current odds Paisley is definitely the value. Never thought I'd say that !

I agree, I said this the other day when the FP news come out, didn't have many agreeing then

Well race is not looking great right now, so I won’t be surprised if PP won.

Have you backed him ? I haven't and will likely wait now until the week itself and see what unfolds.

[opatcho]

Paisley, 3 places... may have to start throwing that in some accas

Not yet, but I don't think it will be long.

Thrown a couple of peanuts on Goshen at 200s on the Exchange, hopefully the Nutter gives me a run for my money

Better than ever? Definitely not as good as he was when he won it. Not even close.

Hes been beat by champ

Then reversed that form again like last year, when champ isnt as good 2nd start

His run last year might be enough though

If I owned one of the second tier of staying chasers I'd be strongly considering reverting to hurdles and supplementing if flooring porter and klassical dream miss the race

Ahoy senor for instance

Or capodanno or envoi allen

You’d have to be thinking Hendo will be having a serious look at this with Maries Rock now too…
