    No we just know he’s the likeliest winner , sometimes punting is common sense

    And most of the time it isn’t. Otherwise, there’d be no bookies and we’d all be millionaires.

    But please explain how a horse with no Grade One form over two miles suddenly beating a load of horses with Grade One form over two miles is “common sense”…

    Because he a unbeaten previous Festival winner , he’s likely still improving and if Better days ahead again makes the pace she’ll set it up perfectly for him , who’s your winner ?

    Your definition of “unbeaten” must be different to mine.

    I’ve “popped” you (whatever that means) because you’re like a broken record.

    The New Lion may well win this year’s Champion Hurdle. But that’s only because Constitution Hill cannot jump any more/is no longer as fast as he used to be and Sir Gino is injured.

    The Constitution Hill who won the 2022 Supreme and the 2023 Champion Hurdle would beat The New Lion by a mile. A fit Sir Gino would do likewise.

    Double post – resurrected, given that HDLG has reported another post because he cannot argue his position rationally or logically.

    The most important ability is availability

    Quixall Crossett ran 103 times and didn’t win once.

    Your point?

    My idea of the winner would be Golden Ace, and wish I had got on

    Ballyburn I’ve been following from the start, and it’s been fun, but less fun watching him unravel

    Can’t see him coming here, but NRNB helps

    Ballyburn 20’s NRNB

    I think that’s a fair price. Nicholls said, if it remains wet over the next couple of weeks they might consider supplementing him. Though, I have no clue what the deadline is.

    Would it be realistic to supplement Lulamba for the CH 2026?
