Champ Hrd, IMO Harchibold has shown in the last two visits to
the centre of the universe that is Prestbury Park, that he
does not posses the resolution to win a champion hurdle,
whilst i would be willing to chance him at a price in most
grade A races run in the calender I would be a laying him
again in the CH at Cheltenham 2006.This race more than any
other 2m hurdle is a test of courage, speed ,stamina and
character, I believe that this horse only possesses two of
these charicteristics. In his favour is his profile in
respect of this races statistics / trends. Many horses placed
in a CH have gone on to win the following year, his age is
ideal and he undoubtably has the high cruising speed
required. On balance i would be willing to take him on. I
would be against this one in the GC,as stated the SA he won
was a poor renewal, alright he could do no more than win but
his overall profile is not that of a horse likely to
progress into a GC winner. The raining champ Kicking King
cannot be opposed as we type imo, but i will be watching the
progress of the previously mentioned Ashley Brook, he could
be very special i just hope he is as effective on g/f and
stiff track as imo his diplay at Aintree was relatively
speaking as good as the great Moscow Flyers the previous
day.
Arkle- front runners at cheltenham don't have a great
record alright but the stayers looks like it could be weak
and I'm not yet convinced of Inglis drever. Baracouda won't
win, Iris may stick with fences, rhinestone may never be the
same, brave inca will probably go champion route and wylie
rarely runs two of his in the same race so no refugee prob
won't turn up. Leaves the mare a reasonably priced 16/1 shot
at this time of year. Not going to back it yet but might do
come Autumn. They probably will aim ashley at one of the
championship races even though he has very little chance.
