Runs tomorrow.

With JP only having Glenloe in the NHC and he is set for the Kim Muir who will Derek O'Connor ride?

Carefully Selected - Patrick
Champagne Classic - Codd (was due to ride last year before injury)

Most of the other contenders don’t seem up to much apart from Copperhead for Tizzard who would be a huge player if he ran here, maybe DOC would get the early call for this one?

Darver star in the champion hurdle

Will codd ride glenloe or le Breuil in Kim muir?? Probably glenloe but I know he rang Pauling months before chelt last year to ride le breuil in 4m

He was due to ride C Classic in the NHC before he got injured he said and then contacted Pauling for Le Breuil.

I think Le Breuil may run in the Ultima as you mention Codd could be on Glenloe having won it for JP and Gordon on Cause of Causes.

Derek O'Connor rides Glenloe.

Backed in from 100s to 14s with PP anyway. Looks very open and Gavin Cromwell knows how to train a Champion Hurdle winner as we saw last year.

I’ve not seen any of Epatante’s runs this year but she must be a much better horse that the one that finished down the field in the mares’ novice hurdle last year. Was there any explanation or anything given for that run? She went off favourite so was obviously well fancied.

Henderson has said he believes the flu vaccination she received due to the equine flu outbreak before the festival played a part.

Very interested to see these. My NRNB book could be blown up or back in the game.


Mainly hoping for Discorama in the ultima 33/1, but most of all Aramon 20/1 in the County (that said ground looks a short price to be soft)

The weather is bad but i’m hoping we get this rain out of the way now before the festival.

I backed Discorama for the Pertemps as he was due to run at one in Exeter but it got called off so i guess now he goes the Ultima as you mention, he is one i need to get onside as for that race i have him and Any Second Now in mind.

Currently very little rain forecast for teh next 14 days and we know how quickly it dries, the two or three days before will be the key.

14-day forecast isn't worth the page-hosting cost of the website showing it

Id back him now a the 33/1 nrnb with 365, no hope he goes off anywhere near that price if he shows up

He just wasn’t on the list. Same as saglaway and some other handicap horses. I’d ground is heavy he probably won’t go. Ground better on Friday too.

Luckily for nrnb as there is no Any Second Now in the Ultima, he will go straight to the National i imagine

I see Canardier is down on the list as trained by Willie Mullins. Has the horse moved to him or is this a typo?

Discorama is back up with 365 for the Ultima at 33/1 nrnb which is too big as Aidan says, he is 14/1 or so on the day maybe less.

Whiplash85

RivetingRoger

Straight in with the double dip . It’s either money back or having a nice bet on the day at much bigger than sp. . He’ll be a tipped horse on the day for sure , with festival record. Hope he doesn’t get silly mark although it’s unlikely as he isn’t unexposed really.

Two for me so far.

Defi du Seuil in the Ryanair. Also had it in a treble.

Just realised Ex Patriot isn’t in any entries nor is Elix De Nutz who i had an eye on for the County.

No Lalor for the Brown Adv. Had him pegged as winner of that on good ground:(
