I need some help!!
So CH I presume ran today because he needed to run again before March.
The way he ran todaytells me he didn’t really have a run!!
So what happens now re training?
Seems to me they are not much more forward now as they were yesterday!! Why not let him stride on more and actually have a run??
Be grateful if anyone can explain, as I’m certainly not qualified to give any sort of expert opinion, and obviously in no position to say I know more then Nicky Henderson!!

Nico said they'll have to make him do some work next week, half in jest.Originally posted by Carnage at Taunton View PostI need some help!!

I think Anzadam might get beat today. I was seriously impressed by Laafi on his hurdling debut on Boxing Day and he was a decent flat horse (3 wins on soft/heavy for Haggas and a peak rating of 98). He will need to take a big step forward but I think that is entirely possible as he won very snugly at Limerick. 50/1 still available on Laafi for the Supreme by the way.Originally posted by ComplyOrDie View PostLooks like we are going to learn absolutely f*** all about Anzadam.
The Limestone Lad just the 3 runners

Was very good on debut but a big step up today.Originally posted by Odddog View Post
Wouldn't be too concerned about his flat rating, so many horses come off the flat, plenty with higher ratings than Laafi, and get put away by NH bred horses.
They can look good early on then get found out. It might just be a step too far for Laafi, today.Comment

It's just a shame about that blunder at the last. Carrying that into the festival isn't great for horse, connections or punters. Nicos fault. Shouldn't have eased up on him so much. Constitution Hill probably thought he'd done enough.Originally posted by Birds Nest View PostComment

Potentially not a lot of risk with the 50/1 eitherOriginally posted by Odddog View Post
If he gets beaten they shouldn't really push him out much and if he wins or is at least close he's got a relatively strong looking piece of form in the book, given the love for the favourite and what I consider far too short, price in a Champion Hurdle

Anzadam solid enough.
Done what Constitution Hill done yesterday without the final hurdle drama.
Was a nothing match, really.Comment

Can't wait for Anzadam to win the champ hurdle

Good from Anzadam, jumping was really good, and was needing a bit of pulling up after the line.Comment

Not a surprise but being cut after that is a bit silly
Most have gone 10s to 8s
The 16/1 TWAF when he was 1/9 and 10/1 ante post was a bit silly from WH though on the flip sideComment

He's a great substitute/back up for State Man isn't he. Think Kev might change his mind about him now.....Comment

Be interested if they have a market for which of Willies to be best placed and how they price him.Comment

He's better than State Man. I don't have any doubt about that.Originally posted by Lobos View PostComment
