henderson waiting like the rest of us ?

with Beat That we're very much sitting on what some of the other three-mile hurdlers are doing before deciding about going chasing
 
More of that vs Faugheen :confused:
 
Paddy Power odds pointing to Vautour staying over hurdles. Thinking of putting UDS Arkle Vautour champion and Faugheen world hurdle in doubles and a treble.
 
More of that sticking to hurdles

Where is that from KSS. All I have seen is this ...

Unbeaten World Hurdle hero More Of That is another star O'Neill possesses in his ranks for his landlord and principal owner JP McManus, though a comeback target is to be decided.

The trainer said: "He is in grand form. I don't know where he will go yet as I haven't spoken to [McManus racing manager] Frank Berry about it."
 
Jonjo announced it on Twitter last night
 
Yep..came from Barry G

" Beat That has improved a lot physically over the summer break and looks like he'll go down the stayers route over hurdles. I won the World Hurdle on More of that last season and he's very good, but you can never be afraid of one horse. I like Beat That and he's progressing. "
 
Good info gents. More of that still one to beat though.
 
Pembrokeshire-based Curtis said: "At Fishers Cross is the best we've had him. I'd say he'll stay hurdling and follow a similar sort of programme to last season."
 
More of that turned over by Medinas

 
Jonjo form is a bit ropey but dont like the idea of a wind op at this time for More of that ...need to find an alternative :confused: Annie Power also under a cloud and Beat That not yet seen....
 
BOMBSHELL: Ladbrokes World Hurdle winner More Of That is to undergo a wind operation, says trainer Jonjo O'Neill.

Recovery from that is what 4/5 weeks ? Can't afford any hiccups now - 3 months to Festival.
 
Long Walk has just 5 left in. Reve De Sivola has obviously won it before but looks like Zakandars for the taking. Any woutes on why Beat that not running ?
 
Rock on Ruby 10/1 NRNB looks an each way steal. Record of horses who have run in Champion Hurdle the only thing stopping me having a proper lump on him.
 
Jetson


"He was probably a little bit intimidated when the big horse came alongside him, but he stuck at it well and we'll probably go straight to Cheltenham now.
"The only option between now and then over here is the Galmoy Hurdle and he'd have to carry a 7lb penalty in that for winning a Grade One.
"I think we'll go straight for the World Hurdle. He's run well there in the past and we know he likes the track."
