This biggest hyped up dog I’ve ever seen come out of Closutton. For those that are interested they can trawl back through my posts from almost three years back when I shat all over this horse, and his reputation, from way out. He never looked like a superstar and three years later he still doesn’t look like one. I can’t have his champion hurdle second and I can guarantee he will never get close to the top level over fences. Melon is a dog of a horse and nothing will ever convince me that he isn’t.

Wouldnt hold much hope for him over fences but your post seemed to suggest that you were in the right to "shat all over the horse". You weren't. Those who thought three years ago that he would be good enough to place in a champion hurdle were right. While you "can't have his champion hurdle second", its in the book.

I told you he was **** if you ignore all his grade 1 performances.

Opinions please lads
Rich Ricci's big 3 back in the day
Douvan, Faugheen, Vautour
If you had to say who was best, second best, third on their day
I get that people will say "Hurdler, 2 miler, mid distance stayer etc etc, look its just to gauge opinions
if you don't like the question, ignore it.

For me
1. Vautour
2. Faugheen
3. Douvan

Anyone care to hazard a go?

All statements from the Mullins' camp was that Douvan was the best they have ever trained. Injuries and premature deaths make it virtually impossible to state conclusively one way or the other. Douvan probably the best, but Vautour's cheltenham wins were spectacular.

Yet Faugheen actually achieved the most.

Thought Tanworth was pretty impressive the other day. Tiger Roll out until Cheltenham, I wonder if there's a chance he might not make it and the 15/2 could be worth risking. Tanworth a better animal than TR faced at Cheltenham before.

Even if TR makes Cheltenham the 15/2 will still be decent IMHO.

Never really a natural hurdler but had so much talent that it didnt always matter.

TRs issue is only small, routine op, no big deal, I'd be surprised if he didn't make it.

How bad is bad based on fact. results tell the truth.

Someone mentioned Malone road out for season I think few days back confirmed here

Got to be a chance Envoi Allen ends up in the Champion Hurdle. If he's as good as they think he is and the owner wouldn't have any fear of it. He's going chasing next year anyway so makes no difference. I wouldn't fear anything with him.

I'd say there is next to zero chance of that happening

Heard that Malone Road might be out for the season. Not sure how reliable the source is though. Envoi Allen surely shorten up for the Supreme if true. Took a little of the 14's that's available.

Confirmed?

Tom Segal gave the Envoi Allen to Champion Hurdle an airing in the latest Racing Post Cast. Unlikely but stranger things have happened. Its a very weak field at the moment.

I have come to the conclusion that Envoi Allen will win the Royal Bond and at Christmas and then he’ll win the Irish Champion Hurdle and Champion Hurdle.

I have him backed him for the GC and to complete the triple crown also but I'd kinda like him to sidestep the KG.Can't get away from the KG/GC same season stat
