Ok guys, some of you wanted to know who I think wins this. Well…it’s been made a lot easier with the defection of Mick Jazz!
IVANOVICH GORBATOV
I can see him winning by a furlong
Tell Us More and Diego Du Charmil for me
Really fancy them
Diego Du Charmil, last year’s FRED WINTER winner (you know, the 4yo handicap for horses who aren’t good enough to even run in the Triumph) has to GIVE weight to last year’s Triumph Hurdle winner. I mean it’s just laughable.
This will just be a procession.
1st Ivanovich Gorbatov
2nd Apple’s Jade (-7lb) (1.25L). 1st Gr1 Mares’ Hurdle.
3rd Footpad (7.25L). 4th Champion Hurdle.
4th Let’s Dance (-7lb) (16L?). 1st Gr2 Mares’ Novice Hurdle.Unless something is horribly wrong, this horse is about 1 1/2 stone well-in.

He hasn’t come close to a victory in his 7 races after the Trimuph last year. Seems to me like he didn’t make any progress.
The best 2 mile hurdler to run this week is running in this race. Arctic fire is 11 pounds lower than his peak and maybe the 13 months off means he might have regressed but I’d be willing to have a small each way bet on him

You are simple-minded.
5/1 is no price for Joey’s horse here
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

Class is permanent
Class act wins the races, well done Faugheen’s old pal and his backers.
Mine went out like a light half way round.
Silly odds on the favourite there. Madness.

That’s going to hurt…
Lesson for Cheltenham – it pays to be on a horse ridden by an experienced jockey.
I don’t really fancy anything much here, and can’t see anything lurking down the weights that seem well handicapped. As such, I’m going to get on the top 4: Arctic Fire 25/1, Lami Serge 33/1, Renneti 14/1 & Ivanovich Gorbatov 11/1 to show their class.
I don’t usually talk about my plans in advance because I usually end up with egg on my face.
Not an egg in sight.

Didn’t see anything wrong with what the jockey did. He is the leading claimer in Ireland this year too. Horse isn’t good enough and has shown all season that he isn’t good enough

Well done Charles, I thought Arctic Fire had too much weight, the stats were against him on that score but good horses get weight and he was/is a good one.

One of my favourite horses in training for a few years now. Lovely to see him win, especially after that crashing fall he had a season or so ago.
The only consolation for me is my Ozzie got beat by the best two horses in the race!!
But boy was I shouting going to the last!!!
