Value Is EverythingThe New One seems a good shout given it looks like the Champion Hurdle will be wide open in 2017. I’m thinking about Un de Sceaux for the Ryanair. It seems the obvious race for him given Douvan will go the Champion Chase, and given UDS’s persistent performance in the Tingle Creek, he might get the slightly longer trip. The odds suggest he might not run but where else could he go?

Hi Kasparov, this is what I said in the Champion Chase thread:
Un De Sceaux is fully effective on soft or good ground, judge. However…
Douvan is long odds-on to go for the Champion Chase. So if Douvan goes Champion it’s odds-on Un De Sceaux goes for the Ryanair. imo Last season Un De Sceaux didn’t settle well enough for the Ryanair trip, but stayed almost 21 1/2 furlongs well enough to win the Prix La Barka on supposedly soft ground at Auteuil on 21st May. After the first few fences allowed his own way up front, whether he’ll settle if taken on throughout remains to be seen. Ruby said in an interview immediately afterwards that UDS is better suited by that trip these days. I don’t agree with him, but it’s now probable UDS is equally effective from 2m to 2m4.5f – at least when not taken on and/or when ground is not too testing. Walsh’s words suggest the Ryanair is (at the moment) the intended target. However that could change.
tbh I’d be more inclined to back UDS for the Ryanair @ 9/1 than Champion Chase @ 10/1, trouble is don’t like relying on two horses to make it to middle of March without injury. Because not only do I lose money if UDS were injured, I’d also lose out if Douvan were injured too – because if Douvan doesn’t make Cheltenham long odds-on Un De Sceaux is re-routed back to the Champion.
Willie doesn’t make it easy for us.
Value Is EverythingI suppose 6/1 for UDS to win something at the festival looks ok value but my concern is he might not run at all.
