Fair play to Hendo for stating Buvy is being aimed at the Champion. For all his greatness, the GOAT could certainly be a bit more upfront with his running plans sooner but we know he's as indecisive as heck. Interesting dimension and we all know how good the Supreme form is. You'd say that cements Jezki for the Stayers now.
please log in to view this image nearly posted this last night not surprised they are going for it, suppose JP has never minded running his against each other
Suppose the main factor is they knew he'd **** all chance against Yorkhill in the JLT so don't blame them for running scared. JP already owns one Yorkhill victim, didn't want to fill the graveyard with them...
sure... nothing to do with the fact its the Champion Hurdle vs the JLT, the race for horses not good enough for the Arkle or RSA
Obviously Petit Mouchoir's antics have led them to believe they have a chance in the 2 miler given they beat him at Aintree. No harm trying anyway.
Buveur had to run in this with no Annie, Yorkhill (at least for now!), Altior and Min. If he'd looked brill over fences then maybe not but he hasn't looked like he had the scope for them like it was hoped. Certainly has an each way chance and if it came up anywhere near soft, a further enhanced one.
I don't know how anyone could consider Buveur D'Air for the race, he only beat that no-hoper Petit Mouchoir a neck ..................... 6/1 he is now, having never run in open company in a hurdle race. Still, potential above proven Grade 1 form any day of the week eh?
His jumping wasnt good enough so a good move..... whether hes good enough if another question but im pretty sure he will beat Yanworth..... might get Dicky up top too.
Wooly he's a cd winner twice, he was unlucky in the supreme and I thought he won a good trial .hes better than the county, with them dropping like flys I'll take him at a price
Record of chasers switching back to the Champion Hurdle is abysmal. I'd rather back Petit Mouchoir which says it all.
Rumours circulating about Yanworth being injured a pool of red for him on Oddschecker!! Someone must know something
