    Win the world hurdle or have a battle for 3rd/4th In the champion ??? No brainer. I'd say Willie will let Annie and The Machine chill until March after seeing that. No worries there.

    Hard to knock Yanworth after that. He looks set get a great view of Ruby's backside at Chelters.

    Willie's main challenge seems to be getting something fit to Cheltenham

    Faugheen or Annie would have won that 8 lengths today

    Tell you what though, Yanworth will be making up into a fine chaser I bet.

    Looks like Thistlecrack will go off favourite for the King George - generally 11/10 now, Cue Card out to 11/8, touching 6/4 in places. Incredible.

    Twister hasn't listened to me on TNO for years, he won't start now will he <whistle><laugh>

    That is Engerlands leading Champion Hurdle hope you are disrepecting you should be getting behind him to fight off the Mullins horses!

    Ol boy Thornton gets his 1000th winner aboard Kentford Myth at Wincanton. What a tremendous achievement for a real tryer. Wouldn't be surprised if he turned it all in now.

    Christ, EVS Thistlecrack now. Got a serious attachment to this horse for nigh on 2 years now but I really do just hope he gets round safe and sound. Huge ask taking on Cue Card here.

    Thought Thistlecrack was going to land on top of the second there. Did remarkably well to get over that. This is going to be very interesting. Jockey looking confident. ****, just stood right off that as I type
