    The stable confidence is appealing but she jumped like a crab the last time out and that would be a major concern for a race like this.

    Yeah she can be clumsy and too big but I suppose they’re going with that old ‘jump better when they’re going faster’ line which can be true tbf. She’s the horse I’m most looking forward to seeing running next week I’d say and I can’t wait to see her in the flesh.

    Might be a case she was going too slow for herself, some horses are far better hurdlers when the pace lifts

    That's possible but I haven't seen any evidence that would convince me that going faster would improve her jumping.

    I thought she was slow from one side to the other and she was akward over a few. I was watching with a view to unloading the clip on her for the champion hurdle. But like a bird with BO, it was a major turn off.

    If you are thinking of "unloading the clip" in this race of all races, that's madness man!!!
    Pick a race with a good price fav, pick Delta Work, pick Sir Erec, don't go all in on a race with 3 very possible winners

    You have seen her races ya................?
    When did she need to go fast? After the second last the last day maybe was the only time, and which poin she quickened up, winged the last and went away from them...

    Lad no offence ok but you are talking bollocks

    Winging one hurdle can hardly be taken as convincing evidence of an ability to jump well at speed.

    Ruby said it's his best ride of the festival. That's enough for me to stay away.

    I learned my lesson with this skunk years ago. I not only had the Mullins acca with Annie Power back in 2015, I had Annie as the last leg not at odds on, but at 4/1 to win by over 5L. 4 figure payout off a 2 figure bet scuppered. Not gonna say Ive never backed him since but I generally avoid and certainly wasnt going to go for him in the same race as the last disaster. This is why you'll never see a broke bookies, punters get mugged off and come back for more!

    I actually skipped the whole day today and I'm glad I did. Would have taken one of the top 3 in the champion hurdle and probably angels breath in the 1st and OK corral in the last.

    I don’t lay so these are just ones I’d be swerving that are near top of market

    Lalor, I’m skeptical on his form this season, not last season, even with what looks like a terrible year quality wise

    Champ, liked him few months ago but some of the form lines are falling apart last month or so

    Footpad Ryanair- that’s one of the races of the festival and with his prep this season you’d want blind confidence having him fav

    Watch all 3 win on the bridle :)

    Laying easy game :) though champ ran far better than I expected that was a good Ballymore

    When Champ learns to settle properly he could be a monster, still a great run from him but tends to over race still.

    I was really convinced Champ would be a bust, but he's a very fine horse based on that. Santini too, a little gutted I didn't bite at some of the 33s for the GC next year.
