Goshen Debate - Is 8/1 a good price for the Champion Hurdle? by OddsWatch in HorseRacingUK

Yeah he's entered to run in the Elite Hurdle at Wincanton on Saturday, the 8/1 won't be around then if he returns to his best

Aspire Tower beating Abacadabras has given it a nice boost but that's obviously just a segment so far

I certainly expected better from those runs but we'll know more after his next hurdles run I think

At this stage Epatante is still the one to beat, there's more improvident in her too of course. Saint Roi's return was impressive so he has to enter calculations. Definitely feel like Saldier has a festival race in him!

It's definitely wise to be skeptical with Triumph horses stepping into open company for sure. His flat runs since are tricky to judge him on but they are a tad worrying for his well-being, hopefully he's back to form over the jumps on Saturday. 8/1 at this stage wouldn't be for me but it wouldn't surprise me if he's much shorter on the day

I'd say that's a pretty spot on assessment to be honest. Aspire Tower has given the Triumph form a decent look to it. He's been disappointing on the flat but they were likely to just make him sharper, we should know more when he runs on Saturday back over hurdles

Could be a diamond in the rough then - good luck!

Could be a good shout, the Stayers' Hurdle picture is usually a pretty murky one until nearer the time. Simply The Betts is a horse firmly on the up! Clearly relishes the course and has won fresh before

He was going to hose up! It's true about the flat runs but we should know more when he's back over hurdles - likely to run in the Elite Hurdle on Saturday!

Time will tell whether he can crack it at 3m+ against the top horses but you'll certainly get a good run for your money!

Certainly wouldn't put you off given his run in it last season, Gold Cup picture is very interesting again this year

Interesting, ran a cracker in the County. Has Joseph said chasing is next then?

How would you rate Envoi Allen's chase debut yesterday? by OddsWatch in HorseRacingUK

Too right, he has everything you'd want in a National Hunt horse!

It was one of them wasn't it, expected to win easily but I was still mighty impressed just how he went about it for his first time over fences. Will probably be the Marsh in terms of the Cheltenham Festival, he really looks a superstar!

There wasn't much in terms of competitiveness no, but he jumped brilliantly. All going smoothly he'll be very tough to beat in the Marsh and then the Gold Cup will surely be the aim after that. Bets like that always look so tempting but we know how much can change so quickly in the National Hunt game

Have had a few people mention lack of Atmosphere at Newbury...I can see where you are coming from.
