    When insomnia struck in this morning’s early hours, I visited one of my online therapists, Stan James, in the hope of some comfort by way of 66s about the Champion Hurdle producing the biggest priced winner of the 2015 festival.

    I thought that was good value, given that Faugheen might blunder away his chance, or have an off day. Jezki hasn’t come on much if at all since last year. TNO looks either increasingly quirky or struggling with some ailment, and something might just come from the clouds. I’m hoping its Purple Bay, Kitten Rock or Arctic Fire, although the latter probably won’t be that long come the off.

    Few of the other specials markets appeal, but maybe you have other thoughts?

    Good luck but personally I wouldn’t be in a hurry to take 1,000/1. Plenty of people are probably looking for some double figure each-way value but realistically the Champion Hurdle is not the place to go. Very surprised if anything bigger than 5/1 is even placed.

    A quick look at oddschecker and I see that StanJames are only offering 33/1 about the Champion Hurdle having the biggest winning SP and there’s a bit of blue around it. Just how much did you have on? In any case it was enough to frighten the lads.

    Some of us took 14/1 about Rich Ricci having 4 or more winners during the week. (Douvan, Faugheen, Annie Power, Vautour, Champagne Fever, Djakadam, Kalkir, Au Quart De Tour – enough said).

    That seems very good value – what price now Charles?

    Only 7’s I’m afraid. I opened up a Betfred account solely for this bet. Mind you I took the 14’s on New Year’s Day so that was before Douvan demolished his rivals in the Moscow Flyer and Vautour bounced back to winning ways.

    Faugheen might blunder away his chance, or have an off day.

    or lose his passport or fall off the boat or become a vegetarian etc etc. :mrgreen:
