This is interesting.
I thought he looked quite a big horse, I can only go on the replays and havent seen him in the flesh so couldn't be sure.
But when he joined dodger long on the run from the 2nd last to last he dwarfed him I thought, I also thought at the time during the race how much scope he looked to have.
maybe my eyes need a check up?
You may be right, this was from memory, I may need to go back and watch the race again.
I think Sir Gino looks bigger than most juveniles though, hence why they are thinking he could go over fences this season, so in comparison to him he might be small
Imo it won't be relevant as I'd be very surprised if BDA went up against State Man at Christmas, surely a smaller race away from the stars and then onto the Mares Hurdle at the Festival.

The longer answer is:
I think Brighterdaysahead would only run ran against State Man at Christmas if Giggi had already decided to target the Champion Hurdle rather than the Mares. If she then ran and beat State Man at Christmas, she would head for the Champion Hurdle. But I don't believe that's how connections are thinking which is why I don't think it will play out that way.

I'd actually be suprised if she didn't, they'd have nothing to lose, if state man beats her then it rwould rghtly justify and onto the mares, but if she won? I think they'd have to find out.imo of course.
Hendo isn't scared of Lossiemouth...below from his Unibet blog.
I’M very pleased to report that all is well with Constitution Hill and he is now 100% sound, which is obviously great news. He will do his first piece of work since Newbury tomorrow and, all being well, we will then work towards Kempton on Boxing Day.I have seen and read many of the comments suggesting he isn’t as good as he was and that he has to prove himself which I cannot agree with. I don’t dispute other people might like to see proof, but he doesn’t need to prove anything to us; he is still the horse he always has been. Yes, I agree, Lossiemouth is a mighty threat to all of them, she looked exceptional at the weekend, but as far as I’m concerned it’s all Seven Barrows guns blazing to Kempton and if anybody else wants to join in the Christmas party, they are more than welcome. If anyone wants to remind themselves of just how good he is, you’ve only got to watch the replay of last year’s Christmas Hurdle; we’re not talking ten years ago – it’s just 12 months! If Lossiemouth comes, it may be a different ball game, but, god willing, we will definitely be there!

.....and that's why this place should continue to thrive!
Listening to Henderson just then I'd say that's a really positive signal for Sir Gino arkle backers (not me).
You just need Constitution Hill to be fine for xmas hurdle and I think they'll go for a novice chase.
I think that wouldn't be the end of your worries though as anything else happens to C Hill and Henderson would want to persuade Donnelly back over hurdles I reckon.
So you'd need State Man and/or Anzadam looking capable winners by that stage also.
It's out of character for Henderson though and probably shows how his stock has declined somewhat.

Yep, looks like I got it wrong.
I really thought it was too late for SG and the Arkle.
Now it seems that Kempton might see him have his first chase.
Agree though, that it probably still hinges on Con Hill.
