Bula Hurdle 2008 | Cheltenham Festival

Steady money at reducing prices for the Champion Hurdle would suggest that he is staying over timber, at least as a first priority. Anyone close to the action know if there have been any decisions made? The syndicate want to give him one more try over hurdles this season the high class irish hurdler accordion etoile is been targeted at the arkle chase at the festival, i would have thought this improving hurdler would have been allowed another crack at the champion hurdle ,as for a horse with little experience at the highest level he ran a cracker in the 2005 champion hurdle, any thoughts anyone.

I've noticed gymnast that Accordion Etoile will run in the 2 mile hurdle at Tipperary on 2nd October. Apparently Intersky Falcon is due to run, and I'd imagine Harchibald will run to. I wouldnt be at all surprised that if Accordion Etoile won this well, then connections may change their minds and keep him over hurdles. The announcement that he'll go chasing could be a tactic to force the hands of Brave Inca & Macs Joy`s connections. I believe all 3 would make good chasers, but all have chances of winning the Champion Hurdle as well. Makes sense in my view. So close to being a Champion Hurdler and so few such horses make top chasers.
People are saying that Brave Inca could win the champion hurdle now that McCoy is his rider, but Surely McCoy will not be available in the champion hurdle as I'm sure JP will have at least 1 runner in the race doesn't have that much ammo for the champion has a few nice bumber horses from last year for the novices but cant see him a horse
