State Man Vs Brighterdaysahead… with Mystical Power in there too.
Anyone heard what happened with the latter at Newcastle?
Value Is EverythingMark Walsh said he was sending out distress signals at the fourth last.
The more I know the less I understand.
Mystical power extra places at 5s is a solid evens bet , He ran so bad at Newcastle it wasn’t true
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
True “too bad to be true”, but if team Mullins don’t know the reason then it could easily happen again.
For today – the best bet is surely Brighterdaysahead each way @ 3/1 (now best 11/4) 2 places. Even if Mystical Power returned to his Grade 1 novice form, the mare has quite a bit in hand of that one. Albeit I thought there was a good chance of Mystical Power improving into a Champion Hurdle contender himself this year. But for Mystical Power to improve enough in one go – in one month – is imo asking a lot.
They say don’t bet each way in a 6 runner race. But when the third fav is available @ 15/1 in the win market and all the rest are 94/1 +… Likelihood of those three finishing in the first two is negligable… And Mystical Power’s chance in doing so isn’t great either. Unless the principle duo go too quick. That said, I wouldn’t put anyone off backing Mystical Power or Winter Fog if hoping for that scenario.
Betting each way on a 3/1 or 11//4 chance won’t get all money back if second, but it gets most.
Value Is EverythingElliott has stated betterdaysahead will be heading to the mares at the festival , doesn’t inspire confidence for today

State Man closing???? 15 lengths down, but beaten 100 yards in the end….
What a performance!!!Nice EW Wilts, had the F/C which returns 75/1.
What the hell was Towsend playing at there , she’ll have to go to the CH now
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
State Man never in the race and barely held on for 3rd place – I guess they can’t go Mares Hurdle know after that performance but they would need to employ the same tactics and I very much doubt she would be given that kind of leeway again.
Mullins seemed to still be looking to go to the Champion with Lossiemouth after Kempton and I would imagine that is now even more the case after this ‘run’ from State Man, question is do the Donnelly’s now override Hendo and re-direct Sir Geno back to the Champion Hurdle?????
“Nice EW Wilts, had the F/C which returns 75/1.”
Erm, my punt, as it turned out, was the Elliot pacemaker for the winner.
Winter Fog was 2nd
That’s 3 or 4 of Mullins ran poorly today , as if not finishing there races

“question is do the Donnelly’s now override Hendo and re-direct Sir Geno back to the Champion Hurdle?????”
Next to no chance, given how Sir Gino strolled home at Kempton. Had he been beaten, reverting to hurdles might have been a possibility.
The only way Sir Gino might get switched is if something goes amiss with Constitution Hill.
And let’s not forget that the owners also have Anzadam, who could be anything.
