I don’t think Hurricane Fly was as impressive as he was in his last two wins. He didn’t quicken up as well as I would like. His jumping wasn’t as good either. The guy said he hoped Ruby was on board, Townend is a brilliant jockey and has a good relationship witht he horse!
Hurricane Fly for me. Really good horse. Proved today that he can win from a strong gallop. Will travel well too as he has won in France
Peddlers Cross keeps improving and won a really good Neptunes last year. He is the main danger
Binocular traveled really well throughout the Christmas Hurdle and jumped brilliantly. Worthy favourite as he is reigning champion. I feel however that last years Champion Hurdle wasn’t the best. Go Native got injured and ran no race, Solwhit scoped badly a week before it, Punjabi is finished, Zaynar hasn’t won a race since it, Kyhber Kim isn’t a great horse, Starluck is average. I wouldn’t be backing him at 5/2
I am not a fan of Menorah. He is a very good horse but I’d be surprised if he is good enough to win this. I think he was lucky to win Supreme Novice last year.
I have backed Dunguib with the view of laying it off. If he has improved his jumping and his jockey rides him closer to the pace then I think he could be thereabouts.
Big Zeb and Captain Cee Bee will both finish ahead of him in the Queen Mother, you heard it here first.
Big Zeb will anyway providing he stays up
Sizing Europe has a chance too
This isn’t a race I would be having a bet on until the day of it. The horse I like is Marsh Warbler
Great post
I hope he does go on to be a superstar but anything can happen over the winter. I wouldn’t be in a rush to back him for the Guineas at the price either
McCOy doesnt take criticism well. I remember once on the Morning Line some journalist crticised a bad ride by him and he responded with " how many winners have you had"
If they tell you its soft in limerick, its heavy. If they tell you its heavy well then its a swamp!
