I had ruled Go Native out on the fact that he’s unlikely to win off the fast pace, but I’m now wondering where this pace is going to come from ??
Dunguib won’t mind a test, but maybe front running would play into binoculars hands too much. I think he’s got the gears to get covered up instead and let the race unfold (and hope that someone else knocks a couple of hurdles over for him
).
Khyber Kim and Solwhit also need pace but may feel that front running diminishes their own chance.
Last years pace setters Celestial Halo and Zaynar otherwise engaged – any chance this is the first dawdling champion hurdle for some years?Dont know what Mccain is like but i think trainers often overrate their best horses. Its good if he honestly says one ISNT performing but positive comments arent ever worth as much! I like Peddlers Cross but no idea which race to back him in.
I think Dunguib is overpriced and lots of positives if forgiven his last run. Would expect to settle and jump better after his novice season, age stats good, fairly certain he covered the distance quickest in the supreme, smaller field in the Champion should suit, strong pace should suit, other contenders being injury prone and inconsistent should suit.
Needs to improve but room in the price imvMy Betfair account says that the extra distance in the Ryanair might help Captain Cee Bee jump round
I hope Henderson and connections consider Long Run for this. If Masterminded isn’t on top of his game then I think the rest are all short of top class and beatable.
It’s clearly too early for the Gold Cup and why win the Ryanair when the QM is there for the taking?Then again he’s French so maybe he’s had enough already.
