Snap Boopa! With face fitness on side & finally dropping back to his optimum trip he might have conditions in his favor! Feel the trip/track will be on the sharp side for Summerville Boy & Samcro, and willing to take Buveur on first time out.

Don’t get me wrong I know he has no chance in March but 40/1 is too big to resist this weekend

I'd wait till the day, as he may well be ignored in the betting and you may get 40s (or 33's more likely) with an extra place with their each way extra thing they do.
Got paid on Rayvin Black at 66s at weekend.

Yeah would be a sensible play quevega but reckon 40’s will be long gone Saturday morning. As someone else alluded to here earlier the pricewise type tipsters will have him well touted tomorrow evening!
 
Boilover ? might be mileage in forecast and tricast
 
Been watching summerville boys races back. He finds so much in his races of the bridle, but he gets ridden pretty early due to his nature of very sloppy jumping. He was much the best in the supreme on almost heavy ground. I'll be very interested to see how well he travels here in the fighting fith as buveur dair gives his hurdles no air at all and travels into the race like a dream, I can't see how he can go with him, so can SB come back into it, or will it all be too late.

When was the last time a supreme winner ran in the CH?

Cinders and ashes who never seemed right again.
But the 2nd darlan (rip)
Was a huge prospect for the next year's CH.
Excited for this race.

Agree Scooby, he's got so much intrigue, i would say he's the horse im most interested to see this year. Could be unreal, could get completely found out if his jumping stays as was.
 
I wouldn't 100% rule out the stayers. Michael and Eddie aware very much the boss.


Eddie O’Leary, racing manager for owners Gigginstown House Stud, said: “He got there,

“It’s a big ask — he’s taking on a dual Champion Hurdle winner. It’s a huge ask.

“At least we’ll know what direction we are going in after this.”
 
I was just about to quote that last line... very interesting statement... maybe the door isn’t closed for a fencing season

Billy’s are offering 22s to win tomorrow and to go on to win the CHurdle
 
Going to be really interesting to see how the market shapes up tomorrow.

Remembering how weak Samcro was the last time.

Samcro will be close to fav
If not fav. Hype train.
 
One for the Samcro fan boys.

He's 9/1 to win the fighting fifth and the CH with 365. Fill your boots.

Form an orderly queue.

He is now my biggest bet of the festival. Buveur D'air still my biggest winner in the Champion Hurdle though.

I haven't been this confident since Dreamfield lined up in the Wokingham :triumphant:

What could possibly go wrong:sorrow:
 
Vision des flos.

We are trying to work out just how good this horse can be and this race will be a really good test of that. He lead over the last in the Supreme last season, was second at both Aintree and Punchestown and on that form he has a chance.

It’s a high quality race and hopefully he can keep up with them. If he doesn’t, we may look to go chasing with him, but we are hopeful that he will go well here.


"Hopefully he can keep up with them" **** and he ran in the ballymore.

******
he'll travel better than samcro and summerville boy, the only question is what he finds at the end.
