Someone somewhere on here said that only Binocular or Hurricane Fly could win this because they were the only 2 fast enough…. and I think I agree with that.

I have been on Hurricane Fly since it’s aborted attempt a year ago…. Alot has been said and written about the form in Ireland and who he has beaten, but it has to be said that although Solwhit is a good horse, Hurricane fly hasn’t just been beating him this year, he has been beating him in a hack canter only racing from the final hurdle to the finish line, and he can only beat what is put in front of him.
It has also been said that being by Montjeu he may not get up the hill at Cheltenham, which IMO is rubbish, this horse has won a grade 1 at 2 and 1/2 miles on soft ground. The doubters will always find something to crab about him but I think with a strong pace and better ground he is going to be even better and that is a scary thought…… I hate leaving Menorah but to me this race is going to be decided by speed at the business end and both Binocular and Hurricane fly are the fastest and the most economical over their hurdles so should have it between them.

1. Hurricane Fly
2. Binocular
3. Menorah

It makes me laugh about all these so called pundits and radio pundits who predict that Hurricane Fly will not like Cheltenham…. I mean FFS, the Horse is yet to run there and could love it, he is flexible and can race up with the pace or off it, he stays and he handles either going….. that to me is the sign of a very good horse.

Ahhhh Glad to have gotten that off my chest lol
