2024 Champion Hurdle (Previously Constitution Hill thread)

[Faugheen_Machine]

I reckon 6.5

Be enough scared off by thinking Con Hill and State Man have the first 2 places covered

But then Willie will probably throw a random dart to try pick up pieces

and then a few UK trainers with no where else to go and could pick up prize money

wonder if there will be a market on this. I think a max of 5 runners so would take the unders with KevBet.

What would people make the over/under on runners this year? It feels like thie has the potential to cut up into a ridiculously small field.

I’ve got the two that can possibly win plus Not so Sleepy
Struggling to get any others I think will turn up

State Man smashed in across the boards today........any reason???

Each way thieves, using NRNB with 3 places.
Noticed a few big players have changed terms to 2 places today.
His price will be bigger on the day but they'd do well to run scared as if CH came out then they'd lose on State man.

See post Rubi Light: Ryanair again ? for an inspiring way to lose 3 PTS.

Oddschecker didn't refresh/reset as usual, so it's showing all market moves from yesterday through to today

I backed him 11/4 NRNB and 13/4 AP sometime yesterday late afternoon with B365 and was 5/2 nearly everywhere else if I remember correctly.

Exactly how I saw it. Can genuinely see this being a 4 or 5 runner field. Reminds me of the Bob/GDC Turners a couple of years ago.

[Benjy23]

It is very hard to find runners in this.

Constitution Hill
State Man
Not So Sleepy
Zarak the Brave?
First Street - handicappers done them no favours so may fancy a day out and 4th place in this.
Luccia - Taken out of Mares but left in here

Might actually have to play Not So Sleepy each way

KevBet doesn't do business with proven winners ... you're restricted to 1 pint bets with me at most.

Try sign up under someone else's name

please note Hills , Ladbrokes , Corals and 888 are all only paying 2 places on the Champion Hurdle now

[Benjy23]

Aye, cheeky fuckers going 2 places. The bookies are pretty wise to it this year though imo. Even those with 3 places are offering 1000/1 shots in the win market on Betfair are 50s with bookies due to the each ways.

Not So Sleepy is 20s to win a Champion Hurdle at the age of 12, against one (maybe two) of the best 2 mile hurdlers we've seen for years. Still probably the best bet of the outsiders though!
