2025 Champion Hurdle

If State Man beats her at the DRF then Lossie is nailed on going to the Mares.

That’s a fairly big if going on their last runs imo

I won't be backing him but in the context of Willie saying he's their number 1 and a conversation of the stable jockey picking him out of the two I'm not sure it's that much of a leap.

He's only 2/1 for Leopardstown.

Yeah, im just going on their runs this season.
Prefer that .

I wonder how that soft spot is after the thrashing he got last time?
To me it’s obvious which one is number 1 out of these two now.
So, for me it’s obvious which he rides if he wants to win the race.
Lossiemouth should be his ride imo.

I’m with you. I don’t think for one minute Townend does sentiment. He wants winners. And if Lossiemouth is showing more at home in the next week he rides her 100%

Looks like we are going to learn absolutely f*** all about Anzadam.

The Limestone Lad just the 3 runners

Still not as impressive at the end of his race. Still travels well but questions over if he has that extra oomph that made him special.

May have learned from the blunder at the last though. Might give the O'Learys more to think about.

Not sure how you can say not impressive at the end of the race he hasn't been asked anything at all at the end of the race.

[ComplyOrDie]

Heart in my mouth right there!

Not done a tap, Nico looking around because the horse had switched off once he took up the running, Nicos fault for the mistake too, ask him sooner if you want a long one, not 2 strides away.
Just blown away a few more cobwebs and picked up a fair pot, roll on March.

I say it as a massive fan of the horse. He had the race won halfway when he went miles clear but he's let them come back. Look at what he did in his Tolworth when not being asked, or his first 2 Xmas hurdles. Not the same.

He hasn't been asked but he never used to be asked to put them all to the sword.

Just put it this way, if you owned Lossiemouth or BDA, did that performance put you off taking him on in March?

I think the jockey probably should just have let him go.
I know they try to preserve as much as they can, but just feel they would be better off letting him do his stuff a bit more.
Would probably help stave off criticism as well.
Not that they would care much about that.

Impressed by his recovery, just saw it again at full speed and was back to full strides almost instantly and going away.

Weren't it just, did well to stand up ! Should set him up nicely for March.

It was never going to put them off anyway imo
Not in that company
