    SkyBet react first, now 1/2 for the race. 4/6 with 365 and a couple of others still about though.

    Love this news. About time the Champion Hurdle was taken seriously and we have a star that could potentially make history.

    Now lets hope he stays fit throughout the season.

      Just makes it a no bet race for me. Chuck CH in multis. Maybe some E/W plays as if he stays fit it will be a small field.

      • Interesting to hear Nico saying stamina was likely to be a major issue.

        Always thought they said he’d stay 4 miles no problem..

          I had already backed State Man and have IEP any race from the last season special to win the Ballymore, so I'm happy to go in on Constitution Hill @ 4/6 for some cover. He's also in plenty of multiples too.

            He knew from Aintree for sure, definitely was underwhelming there to me.

              Gone 4/9, with most now. Not even worth it. Would be a lump on the day if so.

                I got 4/6 before the cut, but not a big bet, just some cover for the other singles in the race, that I have.

                • No surprise.

                  I just hope he maintains his form to be honest and wins multiple Champion Hurdles.

                  • Been plenty of chance to use him basically as a boost in doubles so no complaints given its been an open secret for weeks.

                          If, for instance he is confirmed next week over hurdles (and it still might be fences I will concede, but not over 2 miles -Buckley has all but confirmed that, and quoted that), his current 8/11 price with Skybet will be, at best, an 8/15 job. At best, with a large snip into 1/2 a distinct possibility.

                          Other bookies that already have him at 4/6 may feel the need to shorten further, and will do I’d suggest into a 4/9 price. Possibly 2/5 too. Bet Victor have him already at 4/9, so it’s a little bleary as to what they cut him to, but a 4/11 price would theoretically sound realistic.

                          Move forwards 6 months hence, and the morning of ; If both Con ‘Hill & State Man have cleared up in their respective country’s 2 mile hurdle races and shown exactly the same kind of levels of precocity as last season, then your 1/4 price is likely to ring true. State Man will be hovering around 10/3/ 7/2 ish - dependant on who else might be lining up.

                          But 1/4’s won’t be dished out in September.

                          Man City, Max Verstappen and Novak Djokovic are also ‘pretty good’ at what they do, in comparison to their nearest competitors in their chosen fields, but 1/4’s aren’t dished out pre season to them.
                          Let’s see how close I came. Pretty bang on

                              You make some valid and astute comments at times Bollinger but self praise and the need to quote your own comments is never going to be a behavior I respect.
                              No forum rules against it of course, just a personal observation...

                                Exactly this. Messed us about for no reason at all but we can all attack the Arkle, Turners, BANC and NHC now without him in the mix. Hallelujah.
