For me at the minute, the Champion Hurdle could be
another epic, will a whole raft of novices coming at the
Irish stranglehold. Can anyone of Akilak, Penzance, Mighty
Man, Faasel or Arcalis step up to the required level? Well
I've personally have a little feeling for another of last
season's novices: Lucy Wadham's United.
United absoutlely laughed at both Akilak and Strangely Brown
at Punchestown, a performance that I think has been rather
under-rated by some and have taken a small amount of the
40's available. It remains to be seen if Miss Wadham has the
ability to house a top class horse, I believe she can and am
hopful of a good season from this animal.
As for other races, it will take a very convincing argument
from someone to disuade me from backing Inglis Drever for
the stayers, huge fan of this horse, although I wonder
whether they may run No Refuge if his season starts better
and run ID in the Aintree Hurdle which was his intended
target throughout the whole of last campaign
The biggest disappointment is the host of negative prices
put up by all bookmakers for 2006 - I know they may have
been filled in a little in the last 2 years, but must have
had plenty of non runners to compensate, and have "bottled
it" in a big way this time around.
If they are scared of offering value with 12 months to go,
then god help us... as the name suggests, I love delving in
and having a go, and have had a success or two to make up
for the errors, but this time around I am struggling to have
a go.
I am itching to take 10-1 about Rhinestone Cowboy for the
Stayers' but we need to see he's back in one piece, and then
there's guessing where that annoying imp will run him if he
proves he is still good.
That performance over Iris Gift at Punchestown, with a poor
round of jumping, makes me think 10-1 is massive e-w value.
If he lines up he would be impossible to keep out of the
frame.
