    Obviously though dependent upon how she runs on Saturday
    If Jade returns with a bang then I'd imagine GM would go Stayers. Jade surely the better of the two on paper and more likely to put it up to BDA? See how they run first of course.

Both really disappointed in that race so it could be that neither appreciated the ups and downs of Cheltenham and that they disappoint again.
      And look what has happened with both horses since last March!! Absolutely chalk and cheese.
      Im not particularly a ratings man but even I can’t ignore the difference between the two.
      Only big opponents BDA can have from what I’ve seen are CH in the CH , and Lossie in the Mares.

          You think she can get anywhere near BDA last run?

              So with that in mind and the far inferior rating,why would she affect the price of BDA?

                Stiffer opposition equals better odds. I don't believe even BDA herself will ever put up a performance like that again either. Extraordinary.

                • Just looking now her odds have drifted a bit with Jade being backed so there has already been ripples.

                    In the hope BDA don’t run I expect.
                    They are poles apart.

                            165 to 144 suggests poles apart to me

                              Should be a ban for this type of stuff.
