2025 Mares Hurdle

[opatcho]

Lossiemouth for me, I dont think Cheltenham plays to BDA strengths - she looks like a proper galloper, the old course being sharp and a mixture of pace will take a few lbs off her.

For me, Golden Ace’s run today confirmed she is a 2 miler. Travelled strongly but didn’t see it out well enough. Don’t hold out much hope for her if she goes to the Mares Hurdle.

Yep, she'll need it to be a dry March !. G/S will see her in the Mares anything worse and she'll take her chance in the CH. Could she be low enough to get in the County??

144 would be ok (imo). Saw someone suggest she might go for the Betfair first which could suit her and blow that rating. I think I’d prefer to take Valgrand on 134 myself. He looks lined up for it by Dan.

Valgrand is certainly sticking out like a sore thumb to me, looks to be receiving the full 'langer dan skelton' treatment !

Yep, double Valgrand County with Langer Dan Coral Cup.

I've done the Dan double of BE AWARE - Coral Cup and VALGRAND - County Hurdle

Golden Ace may skip Cheltenham for Aintree

Makes sense. 2 1/2 on Soft ground around Cheltenham is clearly beyond her and she's not good enough for the Churdle. She'll no doubt get an entry for the Mares in the hope that it's warm leading up to and during Cheltenham week and that they need to water but that needs some luck.

Would prefer it genuinely Soft anyway as on quick ground we do get freak results .

They could go County Hurdle and there might be a bit of upside to her mark back over 2 miles.

Yep, a nice option.

….Kargese boosted 12-1 with 365.

Tempted by this.

My absolute main worry with her is what Willie has always saod about her, she's always hard on herself.

Makes me wonder if she'll get home over 2m4f at Cheltenham.

She needs to calm down, basically.

So DJ or JD have tipped her up then i would imagine. Show should be about to drop.
