I got DC & Grand national added to hills at 80/1

I'd say Stellar and the GN would be a good one too. He'd stay 5 miles I reckon.

I've had 1pt on Stellar Story and might do El Fab aswell

If El Fab we're to win he's single digits for the Ryanair and Mullins bingo would be up and running.

I like Dancing City but probably time to recognise he doesn't perform at Cheltenham, where as I think Stellar Story does and will relish the extra 2f a GC would bring

1 out of 2 isn't too bad, TYC odds have halved for the BANC which is frustrating

[Hurricane fly]

I've had a point in TYC &BANC and Bambino Fever and Mares Novice .

She's 7/2 at the moment so you are getting nearly 8/1 for the Mares. She's drifting now but Maughreen was less than half that for winning a random bumper

Think i may well take that teahupoo bet unless there's better elsewhere

He's only going to be 9 next festival so nothing to stop him winning a 3rd if he wins this year

If she wins you’d think they’d try and do a Dawn Run and go for Gold?

It was hard work just to get connections to run her in a Champion Hurdle, so i'm not convinced that after winning a Championship race they will decide to go over fences the next season. Faugheen in the last Champion Hurdle winner to go chasing, and that was over 4 years later! Rock On Ruby went novice chasing 2 years later having attempted to defend his title the next season. Hors La Loi III went chasing but not before he attempted to defend his win, only to refuse to race! Collier Bay went chasing three seasons after winning the Champion. We shall forget about Granville Again's one attempt at chasing 3 years later when pulling up after the horse lost all enthusiasm for racing. Morley Street was a very unique one in that he went chasing before he won the Champion Hurdle! He went back chasing the next season but still ended up at the Champion Hurdle, finishing 6th. Beech Road who won the 1989 Champion Hurdle, went chasing 3 years later after finishing 4th in the 1990 edition and 8th in 1991. Celtic Shot went chasing two years later having also gone back to the Champion Hurdle to defend.

So, no wonder everyone refers to Dawn Run, as she was actually the last horse to win the Champion Hurdle and go chasing the next season, let alone go on to win the Gold Cup! She ran once in the 1984/85 season, winning, before injury ruled her out of the rest of the term (Having to use Wiki as I was only 4 at the time and even Racing Post stats don't go that far back!). She returned in 1985 before going on to land the 1986 Gold Cup, the rest is history.

So, to answer your question, if she was to win the Champion Hurdle, which remember wasn't even in the plan for this horse at the start of the season, then it is extremely unlikely that she goes chasing next season if history is anything to go by.
