2024 Champion Hurdle (Previously Constitution Hill thread)

Irish Point

Unibet Champion Hurdle, 16-1/Paddy Power Stayers' Hurdle, 4-1

He's a young horse with a great attitude and plenty of class. He's won his last four and hasn't done a lot wrong in his whole career. He's a short enough price for the Stayers' Hurdle and he saw out the three miles well at Leopardstown, but it's not beyond the bounds of possibility he could run in the Champion Hurdle, as we also have Teahupoo for the Stayers' Hurdle, who is also owned by Brian [Acheson, of Robcour]. I could see him running a huge race in the Champion Hurdle and you should never be afraid of one horse. The fast pace would work in his favour and, if he managed to keep himself in contention coming down the hill, he'd be coming back up it as fast as anything else. He's a proper horse.

Interesting!

Exchanges already moving

Not going to happen…..is it??!!
Got a cash out option for Stayers, don’t really want to do that though.

16/1 in the without market NRNB, worth a double with Teahupoo in the Stayers?

Who's that with? Can you do it ew? 2 places? If he ran i think that's massive.

I can see why they would, definitely a huge chance to finish top 3 in CH, and split him and Teahupoo, would say they are discussing it, but reading the terminology used and imo I think Stayers probably on their minds as main target.

That 16/1 without market, kev mentions above would be of interest, as if he did go I'd say he has solid claims.

It'll be a travesty if it did. It won't.

Aye no worries, I had my fingers over 8s with pp last night but decided against it. But 16s I would have been all-over. (Don't have a 365)

Yeh was just the wrong price wasn't it, although up against it to beat State Man on all known form through IEP

If they change tactics on state man and try to make the running Irish point could easily get second after the hill has burnt state man off

Ya that's my thinking too and they surely have to change the tactics with State man. Maybe not make the running but at least be up beside CH at the bottom of the hill and put a some pressure on him

[Eggs]

….Hills have ‘how far will CH win by’ offers;

6L or less 6/4
Over 6L 6/4

Also 4/5 straight forecast CH 1st, State Man 2nd.

Eggs is that bet No Lose Bet? An outlay of £40 returns £50 guaranteed? Or am I havering?

It's effectively a 1/4 win bet on him, and it's void if he doesn't run so same as NRNB. So not great.
