.....and I found an image of a bag of hammers, so what a day for you to be alive

Thought next week was meant to be the best week of the year. Cheltmas come early

Yes, bet stands.
Just like you can still back horses who have been confirmed out….

[Istabraq]

anyone know how this works with the exchange? I had her backed prior to entries. Will my bet still stand? Thanks in advance

Joyeuse will come in shorter in the market than she goes off

12/1 is bigger than she'll be though so Coral is worth a look NRNB

[BagOfHammers]

Joyeuse to be supplemented

Just hit the 12/1 with Coral. Superboosted to 13/1

[The Fellow]

Hills now 6/1

[Carnage at Taunton]

Interesting!!
Seen any prices?
Cant find any on my oddschecker

I'd be leaning towards the likelihood of a switch too. Rich Ricci has mentioned before being first string (Paul Townend riding) is really important to him. Also, the fall and defeat to Constitution Hill gives enough reason to change tack on the 2 year plan.

Also, probably me being cynical, I'm not so sure on the 2-year plan thing. May have been a way to keep RR sweet last year when he wanted to go for the CH perhaps.

Plans change when circumstances change.

[Can't Catch Me]

Cannot see any way Paul gets off the reigning champ and reigning Irish champ. He didn't when Lossiemouth was odds on in Ireland... Lossie going to the Mares would certainly suit him.

Willie can give RR his winner for the week. Suppose the only man who might not be happy is Kenny Alexander.

Dry forecast also makes it more likely they switch Lossie imo.

[Kevloaf]

If she was locked on for the 2 year plan, they wouldn't have kept her entered

What's the just in case scenario they'd have been hoping for?

The excuse of being off a fall last time, and Paul picking State Man last time (the reigning champion hurdler and just won the Irish one too) ....

I think we're going to see a Willie Mullins move



I think as well, there is a bigger gap between Lossiemouth and Jade De Grugy than Jade De Grugy to the rest of the field?

I do hope I'm wrong but the 'shit' Mullins got for Vautour winning, same for Ruby, I don't think they'll have lost sleep over



I'm trying to talk myself out of taking the exchange prices though and doing a poor job - I need to come back in a few hours

[ComplyOrDie]

Lossiemouth now fav on Betfair

You just know they're going to bottle it.

Champion Hurdle is going to be a match and about 4 or 5 runners!

[Kevloaf]

I know Wodhooh plans for hdcap of course - but could this re-think the supplement for this race now ?

More likely to just stick with Kala Conti I'd have thought, as I think she was a possible for a handicap

Well, that's what Gordon said most recently anyway
