The 4th,5th & 6th home in the Challow have all won nto,also Crambo won nto & Vivki Vale was 2nd nto,Kances City Star & Idalko Bihoue are the only other 2 from the Challow that have ran,both pulled up.
I'm not sure how great these all are as form boosts as I've not that deeply but at least those behind HA have shown they're able to win races.Comment

Yes form of the Challow has worked out ok.Originally posted by EnvoiAlien View Post
Still don’t give us much idea how good HA is or can be, as he wins with comfort, but runs like today do his chances no harm.Comment

BMG mk2
Hes fav for a reason.
Wins easily and form holding up well.
Should add….. he wins his races easily not he’s going to win easily!!
Going to be a tough race , but he’s done nowt wrong, and one of a few that can win in an open year.Comment

This is a very loose and wild reasoning for him being the winner.Originally posted by Carnage at Taunton View Post
IMO, I've previously mentioned this but Harry does a lovely job of making a horse look like he's hard on the bridle, what they find off that is still an unknown. Nothing in that Challow would be sighted in a Ballymore and distances will have been exaggerated by the ground that day at Newbury, it was a bog and it didn't look like many acted on it.Comment

I never said any reasoning for him being the winner.Originally posted by darlojim View Post
I do think however given how impressive he’s looked and the horses he’s beaten coming out and winning, that he’s the deserving fav.
Its only my opinion though.
If people want to crab the Challow that’s their prerogative, and it would have served them well in the past, but it does not mean the same happens this time.
Hes been as good as any I’ve seen over the Ballymore type distance, and better than most.
Like i said though, it’s an open year with a few worthy candidates.Comment

You'd expect horses deemed considered talented enough by their trainers to run in a grade 1 to be winning in novice hurdles and listed races after wouldn't you?
Would be very worried if they weren't
The second won that grade 2 nicely today, but like most grade 2 novice races in the UK it was more of a listed race and the elliot horse didn't lift a leg
Form certainly hasnt looked bad but not really been franked in the context of a proper grade 1 race like this
Hermes allen did look miles better than them though so thats not surprising
Bit like luccia in that they've won so easily it'd be harsh to judge them on what the ones in behind do
Personally I think he will need soft ground to have a chance, on good ground he will be very vulnerable to the speed horses like impaire et passe and the gaelic lunatic. Bit of soft to remove some of the emphasis away from speed and he could go close.
