Nothing wrong with the 10/1 NRNB Mares Hurdle or 8/1 NRNB Coral
No, if she got a stone bruise and missed declaring for the Mares so they then run in the Coral cup a day later then if you'd be happy to be on her at 8-1, I agree.
There's never much wrong with NRNB.
Unless the price vs the actual chances of winning don't really stack up.
Brandy Love would likely have to put up a better performance in the Coral cup than the Mares hurdle to win off a mark effectively of about 152 - 155. Possibly more, as that's me anticipating between 0-3lbs UK tax.
Not impossible but not an 8-1 chance IMO.
But value is part opinion, so I can see why some would do this.
She was absolutely fine going normal race pace but out came the left handed thing and awkward jumping once it got to the 'actual' racing.
I think she'll come on plenty for the run, and would absolutely expect her to overturn the form with Queens Brook at the festival, but will it all be enough with Honey and Maries Rock in there?
Willie will feel that’s mission accomplished for brandy love. Travelled well and jumped better than previous runs right handed, and just blew up between last 2 flights. Not given a hard time by any stretch.
I’ve topped up on her. I believe her current odds are far too big.
put her spot on for the mares IMO
That Brandy Love run was a proper 'see what you want to see' performance.
Yep the camps were firmly established pre race and nobody from what I can see is about to jump camp...if there are folks jumping camp it would be really interesting to hear from them.
Bookies increasing her odds is a bit of a surprise. Did they expect her to wipe the floor with them off that weight and first run of the season.
She's still the most likely winner for me.
Epatante is past it. Honeysuckle is past it. Brandy Love has beat Love Envoi already. Maries Rock didn't beat Queen's Brook far last year and probably goes the Stayers. The rest won't be in it.
After you get past Shewearsitwell in the market I agree, the rest wont be in it, but you're being very dismissive of the others IMO.
Hard to watch Epatante last time out and buy into her being past it IMO. She's won hard held taking the absolute piss posting an RPR higher than Brandy Love has ever run to. Honeysuckle wouldn't be racing again if she was past it, or if they felt she couldn't win. 2nd to State Man didn't look likely at one point but she showed that steely determination and we know categorically that she handles Cheltenham and runs well there. Brandy Love has never been to Cheltenham. Yes, Love Envoi lost to BL last year, but BL went to Fairyhouse fresh, not after the back of a tough festival. Love Envoi has definitely improved whether you are with her or against her, and comes with zero quirks, which BL is full of. Maries Rock has won 4 on the bounce and that run LTO was massive - way better than anything BL has ever done. She's 2/3 at Cheltenham and even though the stayers is a possibility, 'probably goes' is a big stretch IMO. Shewearsitwell deserves a mention also. 2/2, looks a better horse this year and BL hasn't run to a higher level than her yet.
BL has 4 proper decent rivals there and I don't think they can be played down back vs their own sex.

I think on their respective runs this season that I would agree that Honey is not as good, but I would not agree re Epatante.
No idea re Marie’s, but my feeling is it’s ground deciding her race
Not sure on my most likely winner but I don’t think we saw her today.
Will they drop her after that ?? Maybe the Coral Cup could be a viable option? Doubt there's much in it re Prize Money either. She's already got the Black Type so no worries there. Ummmmmm
