    Sauvignon blew out as 2nd fav
    Stencil lost a leg looking for a mark and still tanked there
    The rest were much of a muchness

    But winner won well and hes a live one for backers, not particularly worried as a non backer right now though tbh

      I've not backed him. Got Lulamba and JPs horse that's terrified of jumping. I think STD might try to make it a test at the festival, which will suit Lulamba as he travels, will stay and he has that gear change. See what comes out of the DRF as the best and if Skelton sends Live Conti to the Adonis.

        He's done everything he needs to. Both EID and Lulamba look very straightforward which will help them at the festival. Showed he can lead if needs to. Slow pace at the start and I think in the Triumph STD will be confident now to go from the front straight away and make it a test.

        I do think Lulamba just looks different class.
        Yep straightforward and professional
        May the best horse win, whichever that may be!!
        Now wait to see if another can join them.

          That’s a post from a hopeful non backer for sure

            Had plenty of opportunity to get on, doesnt interest me

            Triumph is looking like potentially being a good clash though, which is always good to see

              You must be very confident of Lulamba if you are not interested in the two time impressive Cheltenham winner.
              Too short for you now I guess?

                And today as above

                But yes, i am very confident in Lulamba

                Probs priced right tbh

                  And Lulamba beat a horse who did absolutely everything wrong and had a poor lead up to the race. I fail to see what Lulamba did was better than what EID did there. Stencil was still in contention and got left behind. He was ridden after the last for a little bit much to my frustration as was on EID to win by over 5 lengths, but that was never in doubt in the end. I wasn't on EID before, like you was wary of being early season form. But, think he is just too professional, hurdles so well and will be too quick for Lulamba in a finish. On what we have seen on the racetrack the prices are the wrong way round.

                    Fair enough.
                    I wouldn’t like to say which is more likely right now.

                        How will that information benefit you in the future ?

                        Edit - sorry was just wondering, hope the tone of the question didn't seem harsh.

                          Good to know that a Triumph hurdle contender is 10 seconds faster than the Champion Hurdle favourite isn't it?

                            Yeah because Lulamba is so

                            Unprofessional
                            Jumps poorly
                            And slow as a boat



                            Best of luck to the EID backers though

                              Don't worry, not all horses can be rated 89 on the flat and hurdle as well as him.
