County Hurdle 2019

I like Whiskey Sour also for this, can not see a reason why he would improve going over 2.5 miles in softish ground..
 
14s NRNB not big enough to tempt you?

Fair point.... didn’t want to use up my bank but have done it now! Be too annoyed if he did go here and I didn’t have him.

Yes fair enough. I've backed loads in multiple races - a bit annoying doing the 'admin' as it trickles back in but well worth it in my opinion.

I think the argument would be he would be down near the bottom of the weights in the Coral Cup, and has shown he stay's the distance last season. The ground should be better than last year to help him see it out.

Vs.

The County where there will be quite a few getting in off light weights below

I'd back him in either
 
He held every chance in the County last season but got touched off after the last. I struggle too see him winning a festival race over 2 miles, for all he'll be very popular in the market
 
Personally I thought the coral was a harder race to win this year, the country is looking the weaker race as many of the fancied horses are or went else where.. he has only ran twice over 2.4 miles, beaten 3 1/4L G/F and in soft by 10L, his form is so much better over 2 miles in soft, beating Le Richebourg & Hardline by 19L 18mts ago makes him a 2 miler for me...
 
Would like to see the Skelton brothers have another Festival win, as they know how to celebrate

Think Ch'tibello would be of interest if running in this race though he has not won a race for a while, but has a touch of class

Taken each way the Non Runner no bet 25-1 with Boylesports

Declared with Harry to ride
 
....Malaya not declared. Never mind, my 50-1 was good whilst it lasted.

BOOM:triumphant:
 
Well done

Nice early shout.
 
Hindsight's a wonderful thing , but even with the Ch falling apart if Saldier had rocked up here fresh would of been mighty tough to beat judged on Espoir.
 
Missed Cheltenham by a couple of weeks and will go to Punchestown - going to back for CH before hand as expect him to run a huge race

Cheers was going to ask what his fitness was as haven't read up on him of late. Seems to need cut in the ground but very intrested to see him in a couple of weeks now.
