    Still not convinced he will run here :negative:

    Would make more sense to me now especially that its quite a weak renewal,that jezki comes here with a serious chance….with bvd thrown in

    And yanworth and ukwimh go to stayers

    Unless its already been confirmed otherwise of course

    Kempton was a trial for Yanworth to see if he was quick enough for the CH. He won it pretty well in the end, Alan King was quoted as saying all roads lead to the CH after.

    Jezki should go the Stayers route, I think he has more chance of upsetting UKWIMH than he does of winning the CH again. After all not many have regained the prize…

    Faugheen being ruled out is irrelevant I think. They probably had an idea it was going to be the case before we did!

    :good:

    I should of cashed out.

    I’m still 50/50 whether yanworth even makes the festival.
    Think he’s injured worse than stated

    Too bad of Ar Mad. I really like the horse and I think he would certainly be placed here with a clear round of jumping.

    I think the christmas hurdle was a terrible race to tell if he was quick enough for a CH it was suited to a stayer, hes obviously good enough to be in the mix for it this year, but if jezki was in top form at home, i just dont know if yanworth could beat him over two miles, or BVD for that matter

    Will sit back and let this market get a little more clear before i get involved

    But your right he probably will run here if fit, just speculation from me thats all B-)

    Yorkhill on the drift for this.
    Is it because Ruby played down idea of champion hurdle

    Would you listen to Ruby though ? Haha
    Massive drift for the Arkle
    Small drift for JLT

    Sure is innoko, im usually miles off aswell :yahoo: all part of the fun

    Theyll send him wherever they think he has the best chance of winning which is arguably the jlt, no? but it does make sense putting him here, absolutely no clue

    Fair play to PP refunding Ante Post bets on Min & Faugheen :good: Had a couple of Min bets with them (only about 20% of what i placed like)

    Why are Min and Faugheen different to any other ante-post horse? :unsure:

    Yorkhill now strong for the Arkle and weak for champion hurdle!

    Confident he wont go Arkle. Why would they run him into Altior when they can send him JLT or CH?

    Same, jlt is almost a cert for him, ch is possible if he can produce at 2m, the arkle is about the worst race for him, his jumping will be put under too much pressure at that distAnce, plus altior is to good for him.

    All doors are wide open, nothing will be getting confirmed
    decisions will be made as late as possible, you can’t rule out Arkle as if anything happens to Douvan Altior will get rerouted.
