Boyne Hurdle 2023

[Silver Spoon]

At Navan tomorrow, and I’m relieved to see that my Stayers Hurdle selection, Blazing Khal is at least alive and well.

I won’t bet him tomorrow, but I will be happy to cheer him round with preference for an incident free comeback

[Venture to Cognac]

I had initially bet EW on Sire Du Berlais here, expecting him to be only selection, but had a backup on Highland Charge.

Sire Du Berlais is an old regular of mine, and if in the same mood as Leopardstown, I can forget it. If in the right state of mind, then massively overpriced at his time of year.

Highland Charge has been disappointing over fences, but I can see him outrunning his odds back over timber. Smaller bet for him, as it’s really a one selection only race, but I’d kick myself if he did it. (Cashed out, no need for two in a race like this)

Sire Du Berlais 33’s EW

I suppose Saint Sam has to win this snugly if he wants to be a stayers horse so he’s my selection. Got him on his own and in a treble with American Mike and The Gunner Yeats.

Though 3m would be preferable, Meet And Greet showed enough over a wholly-inadequate 2m last time out to suggest a victory over this 2m5f is possible.

Would be disappointing if blazing khal doesnt win this well, if he goes out much more ill
Probably have a bet

[All Jeff]

Grand Roi is a frustrating horse sometimes, but I’ve bet him here at 22-1 ew

I do agree that a fully ready Blazing Khal will win though

[FinalFurlong91]

I doubt blazing khal will be near fully ready given the setbacks he’s had so if he wins this I’d be impressed

[sporting sam]

Highland Charge
Each way.
Saint Sam
Win
Gigginstown record in this very good.
Highland Charge pulled up after showing form.
Examined after at request of stewards and “post race normal”.

[greenasgrass]

Well done Spoon and ham, that was good considering the time off and the fact that he’s a 3 miler held up off a slow pace. Impressed.

[sporting sam]

Well done spoon and Ham.
Brilliant performance off such a long break.
Gellino Bellini will be pleased too.

[Mike007]

Trainer reported BK was pretty straight for today’s assignment.
So not surprised he won as it was a winnable race for him if fit.

[He Didnt Like Ground]

He was a cracking price , was in my lucky 15 , bloody American Mike my only loser …. he,s getting left alone now

Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
