Not so much should he run but do you want him to run.
The more I know the less I understand.
February 22, 2026 at 15:44 #1755917No – and I have backed him
February 22, 2026 at 15:54 #1755918He should be nowhere near Cheltenham
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
February 22, 2026 at 16:07 #1755922You’ll get 80% no, including me. I’m without a bet in the CH so far and it could remain that way. It’s not my number one race at the Fez.
February 22, 2026 at 18:51 #1755939Definitely NO.
The welfare of the horse is the most important thing.
February 22, 2026 at 19:14 #1755940Only twelve votes at the moment but didn’t expect it to be so close.
The more I know the less I understand.
February 22, 2026 at 19:20 #1755941I think some of us have backed him at some stage and want him to run, Gladders obviously the exception.
HDLG is n/o to have voted NO, Mike is n/o for YES.February 22, 2026 at 19:29 #1755942It’s a no from me. Go John Porter, Yorkshire Cup etc…
February 22, 2026 at 19:56 #1755947A no from me to
VF x
February 22, 2026 at 21:07 #1755954No. Even if he manages to jump round safely, he doesn’t jump well enough to win a Champion Hurdle so what’s the point?
February 22, 2026 at 21:12 #1755955No, his participation would make the first day a bore with saturation coverage and post race gush if it turns out happily. Bitter recriminations if it doesn’t.
February 22, 2026 at 21:33 #1755958That’s the thing that would really grate with me if he won pilgarlic – the fawning over connections for taking such an irresponsible decision.
February 22, 2026 at 21:42 #1755959Yes,
Would love to see him win at the big stage again. Would be a bit like Sprinter Sacre winning his second Champion Chase.
February 22, 2026 at 21:51 #1755961And what if he fell and, heaven forbid, broke his neck?
February 22, 2026 at 22:49 #1755966As much as i would love to see him bolting up in the champion hurdle, its simply not worth the risk at this stage, the fighting fifth was his chance to prove he had shed any demons from 6 months prior.
February 23, 2026 at 17:41 #1756018No. He has jumped one and a half hurdles in public this season, 3 months ago. That’s not enough.
Also, this:
“his participation would make the first day a bore with saturation coverage”
They’d be wanging on all day about a horse who won the race 3 years ago and probably ignoring the reigning champion.February 23, 2026 at 18:06 #1756019I agree last years winner won on merit and will be overshadowed, she fluently jumped the hurdles and crossed the line before any other horse.
The more I know the less I understand.
