2025 Champion Hurdle

[EnvoiAlien]

I think he will be a great bet for next years Champion Hurdle.

If they can keep him sound I'd love to see him over a fence, he's a fair sized unit, he'd love it.

[Lobos]

Neither will JP?
Neither will loads of people - that's not how the sport works
It's not just a line of horses waiting to step in to have a runner in every race

In fact, why not re route Sir Gino if State Man flops was your suggestion 24 hours ago

Oh yeah. Forgot about SG. Arkle backers will be sweating now.....

Oh yeah, really sweating

Oh yeah, really sweating

Gino could probably do a Flyingbolt, only it'd be the same day not 24hrs between races.

Not allowed anymore. Used to love it when horses ran twice in the week.

Knew that would wake you up

[Imperial Commander]

Bring on the KITZ!

You know it makes sense!

[Durham Edition]

Can't feel that bad, he wasn't even plan A to be going

Always next year.... if he doesn't go chasing?

It wouldn't be under consideration for me currently.

Owners have both Salvator Mundi & Lulamba, albeit the latter with Nicky, but both who could still be in the category of 'anything'. Nicky has already spouted about Lulamba looking like a chaser, so suspect they'll follow the Sir Gino route with him, it just depends if he's as good or not. Salvator Mundi looked very much like a chaser in the making to my eye, so suspect he'll be one for the Arkle, should he prove good enough in the Supreme anyway. It might have been a little more difficult had the JLT/Marsh/Turners still been around.

I'm very much of the opinion they'll go down the Champion Hurdle route with Anzadam next season and the words 'unfinished business over hurdles' are spouted at some point.

[DenmanSacre]

You couldn't really trust Anzadam as an ante post selection this far out now. Going to have missed 2 festivals because of not being right. You'd expect his price to hold as well as you'll have the Cheltenham, Aintree and Punchestown winners come out and be fresher in the memory and as COD says, potentially he remains over hurdles.

Hope you’re right & they do stay hurdling, I’ll be all over him for the Champion Hurdle. If he keeps progressing at the rate he has he’ll be Willies clear number one.

Constitution Hill will be another year older & hard to see anything else reaching championship level, unless something like Salvador Mundi or Kopek Des Bordes live up to the hype & more. Lulamba maybe of the juveniles, but I think this years crop of 5 year olds are kidding us into thinking juveniles going straight to the top table will become a regular thing.

Lossiemouth & State Man both declared

[Benjy23]

Looking forward to the jockey booking fall out... Whichever way it is.
