[opatcho]

CH champ beaten on seasonal start
doesnt make it to the fez
mare step in and wins

A “poor man’s” of Faugheen (state man) and Lossiemouth (Annie power) ?

I’m bored tonight lol

[Eggs]

….Brighterdaysahead 9-1 CH in Hills ‘Road to Cheltenham’ specials.

[Lobos]

Me and my mate having a proper debate about where BDA will end up.

I say CH, he says MH.

What do we all think ?

Just a simple CH or MH will do.

[Quevega]

Mares, cos she gets beat next time anyway, especially if she goes for one of the grade 1 2 miles races.

unless they take an easier option, in which case they might go Champion, if it cuts up further..

[BookieBasher]

Mares for me. Just purely because I feel Gordon will play it safe, especially if the mares is there for the taking

[Yosser]

CH. Surely they can't pass up that opportunity now

[EnvoiAlien]

Mares,much as I love her I don't think she jumps well enough for a spring ground CH.

[Eggs]

….Lobos asked where she’ll go at the Festival, not where she should go at the Festival. I think she’ll go CH.

[Muswell]

Gino confirmed for the FF

[Brooksie]

Champion hurdle 2025, Arkle/Mares Chase 2026, Gold Cup 2027 making babies 2028.

See if I can find a bookmaker that is willing to lay me anything bigger than 10/1

[Carnage at Taunton]

Mares Hurdle

[Stormez]

I reckon Mares Hurdle

[Lobos]

Currently 5/4 Mares

I think State Man beats BDA over 2m in any races further into the season

Being fit and primed for a target race is different from being race fit IMO

BDA ran a great race against a CH winner over what maybe is short of her best trip, but her race fitness counted on the run in order for her to prevail

BDA will run in the Mares hurdle unless there is carnage in the 2m hurdle division as the season progresses IMO

….Lobos asked where she’ll go at the Festival, not where she should go at the Festival. I think she’ll go CH.

Was this directed at me,Eggs?
