2024 Stayers Hurdle

[Eggs]

If Robcour want to improve their Festival record and get some of their investment back then they should throw both of them at the race.

….fascinating choice for the jockey, he’s already said he wants them split.

[Lobos]

Can't split them at the Festival though Eggs.

….i’m sure he meant Cheltenham/Aintree.

[Lobos]

He did. Unfair on either horse to take away a chance of winning the Stayers.

Having had success skipping Cheltenham and going to Aintree last year you can see why they'd be tempted

As a teahupoo backer I hope they do

He is only 5 going 6 so they have plenty of time with him

He'd be very well suited to punchestown too

Teahupoo got badly outpaced there last season so that'd be another very winnable grade 1 for Irish Point

With Sir G opening odds on for tomorrow, the 33-1 looks a very big price given his back form and proven class at Cheltenham especially.
If he beats that field tomorrow then he is likely to go as short as 10-1 or lower, unless it's a scruffy victory of course. I'd say the range will be 8-20-1 depending on style.

The risk is that the race is at Punchestown and he normally stinks the place out.

I'm already on at shorter 20 and bigger 40, but will have another point I reckon.

Whys Ashdale Bob like 4x the price?

[Quevega]

Whys Ashdale Bob like 4x the price?

I nearly backed it but this race smells a bit like no one wants to win except the Fav.
Sir G may also get an early easy lead.
If Ashdale Bob jumps off prominent then I might be tempted then.

[opatcho]

I’m starting to thing this French horse is a good thing!

I had the same thoughts re Punchestown. However, hanging on the hope that the 3 times he's been there and beaten out of sight have all been in April after a long hard season. Hell be as fresh as a daisy tomorrow so maybe that'll get the difference?? At the prices he's definitely worth taking a chance with as he's a serious hurdler at his best. Win really well and his odds will crash. Can see him being backed for the fez prior to him running tomorrow as well.

Is his back form that good?
If I remember correctly he beat a pretty poor field in the Ballymore.
He has no form over 3 miles.
Hes been chasing and now back hurdling as an afterthought cos thought to be not good enough at jumping a fence.
Yes they all have their price but imo bit of a stretch to see him as a serious Stayers contender.
Mind you I guess he would make the race a tad more interesting if he were to win a half decent race over 3m prior.

Hahaha, having said all that, I can see him winning today and as you say his price will drop.
Yes, 33 with cash out is ok.

[Irish Rugby]

I do think we are still deliberating over Sir G because of his ownership and trainer. If he was owned and trained by anyone else, he'd be now running in handicaps.

I'll happily dig this out in March if he scoots home in the Stayers for you all to laugh at me. Perhaps he can pick something up at Punchestown beating season tired horses.

[FinalFurlong91]

Is his Hurdles form even any good?

Beat three stripe life twice

With horses like whatdeawant and that robcour yak whose name i cant remember
