    She's never raced against a proper grade 1 horse before and teahupoo has already downed honeysuckle and impaire in that race.

    Its a big race for her tomorrow. Teahupoo loses and just gets outspeeded it does no harm to his stayers chances. But she loses tomorrow its the mares hurdle for her at Cheltenham i reckon.

    As it stands teahupoo with lossie mares is 8.17/1 on skybet

    Teahupoo with state man 8.55/1 with paddy

    Might be two related doubles for those heavily invested in lossie champion hurdle to consider as cover before tomorrow.
    I just think now that Paul Townend will sit behind and without Jack I don't think he'll do it a 3rd time...

    Could do though

      I'm largely of the same opinion and quite happy to take her on until she shows the same sort of performance against genuine grade 1 horses. I wasn't overly sold on the crop of juveniles when she won the triumph and beating up Gala Marceau repeatedly is a long way off champion hurdle standard. Albeit she has done it impressively.

      She'll have to get by Teahupoo in his backyard tomorrow, that's a different proposition entirely. Still can't believe she's so short for the champion hurdle tbh.

        • Not the clash we hoped for

          The crowd chanting Gino

          • Well that was a dissapointing spectacle

            With Mystical power flopping all sir gino has done really is beat some handicappers off level weights comfortably.

            • Loved the way Nico gave him a proper race there
              No doubt where he goes now

              • Mystical Power head carriage throughout was poor,might be a problem there.
                Sir Gino jumped better than last season,won nicely,still rather see him chasing.
                Onto tomorrow.

                    Yep, would have been much better had MP turned up, but could not have done much more than he did after not settling early on.

                        What mark do you think he'll get for today - mid 140s?

                          Ermmm

                          Kala Conti rated 138

                          He's beat her 6 1/2L but KC effectively 5lbs wrong with the weights.

                          So yeah I'd say taking into account ease of win/irish debut I'd be thinking it'll be 145/146
