Will Anzadam deffo go to Champion Hurdle ?
As Willie has Lossiemouth and State Man (same owner)
Is it possible he'll be saved for Aintree Hurdle ?
Just wondering, dont shout
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 side
It is poor but not surprising and given how State Man has run this season and maybe taking the view one or both the mares end up in the mares then it makes sense to cut the E/W play in the race, which is what I think he is.

Possibly but I reckon Willie will be happy to gang up on Constitution Hill and let them all fly.
If Brighterdaysahead & Anzadam turn up against Lossie & Con hill we could have the best champion hurdle we've had in a long long while. I'd sacrifice my BDA mares ticket to see that spectacle. Could be one for the ages!
Disappointing how quickly Laafi emptied out to be honest but it was a really muddling race in behind the impressive winner. For me Anzadam adds a really intriguing angle to the Champion Hurdle as we really have no idea how good he might be. But I still think Constitution Hill will take all the beating - not least because if there is one thing his trainer knows how to do, it is winning Champion Hurdles.
Mullins said: “That was a very good performance. Paul gave him a squeeze after the last and he quickened away nicely. There was no sign of him stopping. “He has a good engine and is climbing up the tree nicely. He could be anything.
“He’s in the Champion Hurdle, but maybe we should wait for Aintree. That looks appealing and he’s still only five.
“The jump he put in at the third last I thought was extraordinary and showed me that we’ll have no trouble going novice chasing with him when we want.
“We’ll see how far we can go with hurdling and see what his owners would like to do.”
French-bred Anzadam also won a Grade 3 on Irish debut at Fairyhouse in November by an eased down six and a-half lengths.
Paddy Power kept Anzadam unchanged at 10/1 for the Champion Hurdle.
