Jesus I don’t know, very short. His jumping isn’t good enough yet. I think jedski is the value right now but it’s not an AP market at all for me. Don’t see it changing much
Nothing wrong with his jumping on last two runs. By March 9-4 may be value. I can see the Jezki angle but my gut tells me that Faugheen is something really really special.
I couldn’t disagree more. He walks into the bottom of them, and ruby rides him like a novice letting him fiddle his way around , not for me . If it was flat he’d walk in, but it’s not
I could not disagree with you more and won’t waste any energy trying to dissuade you as I have learned in the past that I might as well be pissing against the wind. We will revisit the case in March;)
Yeah I remember , the bobsworth and our Conor arguments…
Hope you’re right as I’m on Bordini at 50s for Cheltenham but I know Ricci mentioned another bumper horse as his one to follow for the season - Un Quarts Du Tours (spelling could be way off but sounded like that !! ).
No sign of him yet

That’s a cracking antepost bet. Mullins said that Bordini was there best bumper horse post race.

that 50 will be a good trading opportunity. Nice one.
Quart De Tour is the other one. No sign of him.
I see Mahler Lad quoted at 33s for the champion bumper
The CH is a weak market , MTOY injury and the fact the supreme novice is going chasing means the middle of the market is very empty. It’s hard to see beyond the top 3

ML is entered in AB, that’s the route he’ll go down i’d say.
Sign of a victory is only Dark Horse for me. He hurdles unbelievably well and looks classy. We will see on Saturday whether there is substance to the style. I think we will.
Re AB, Blacklion powered up the hill sat, probably didn’t beat a lot but he’ll be there coming up that hill when some classier types are falling away
Yup, I’m all over him @ 5 s, think hell win sat but you would also have to assume he’s peaked too early for a CH horse ?
Nah, horses that go down the Handicap route like that don’t have to be anywhere near their peak/true ability to win. If he is genuine Champion Hurdle class he has a ton in hand and would win at 90% of his capability. Make a stand and More of that more recently are cases in point.
Hugely impressive but he beat nothing. The Nicholls horse is useless. I like Shantou Bob and No more heroes at the moment. Brother Tedd and Zeroshadesofgray have a lot of upsides aswell.
