    I just seen the going for tuesday could be soft so i think this will go against binocular who is too short a price for me anyway. So ive decided to stick a few quid E.W on Osana and Ebaziyan. I liked Osana's comeback run behind celestial halo and if he improved from that he wont be to far away on tuesday! my reason for backing ebaziyan is he'll prefer the softer going if it comes up that way and he won well over this trip in the supreme novices hurdle in 2007. i just think hes too big a price! so thats my two cents worthlessness:pac::pac:

    TOTALLY AGREE FAR TOO SHORT AND DOESNT LIKE THE GROUND IF THEY ARE SAYING HOW MUCH THE GROUND WILL ALTER WITH THE RAIN

    Celestial Halo would appear to hold the value in the Champion. Seemingly flying over in Ditcheat and is expected to be among the first 3 home.

    I'm also going to have a little on Punjabi maybe also.

    +1. Third last year, not done a whole lot wrong since, though he hasn't enhanced his claims much either to be fair.

    40/1 on betfair seems fair enough.

    Also seems suited well enough by most ground conditions. Though he may have a slight preference for good, it isn't nearly as important than for horses such as Harchi and Won in the Dark.

    I dunno, I've always been a fan of Punjabi and think he'll show up better at the festival.

    If the ground comes up d same as last year and the champion hurdle turns into a battle i reckon ders no need to look beyond the lil pocket rocket Katchit.
    Hes not been in any sort of form this year but he is trained wit this date in mind all year. He may well be the value ew bet.
    If the ground stays good we`ll all break the bookies with Binocular scooting up.

    Ebaziyan won't finish in the first 10 and Osana has missed the boat last year. Still praying good pops up somewhere in the ground description on the day, tired of these staying types winning the champion. I'd never back him at the current odds but Binocular really should win. If it is softish i like Ashkazar and Sentry Duty.

    Oh and maybe Whiteoak might surprise a few. She's tough as nails.
